A 2-5 defeat! Carvajal: I don t think Atletico Madrid is much better than Real Madrid, and the loss will be transformed into motivation

After Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid 2-5, Carvajal criticized himself in an interview, and also questioned some of the referee's penalty, especially the controversial penalty regarding Sollot's celebration of the goal.

Regarding the second yellow card that Sollot might receive?

"Yes, we asked. They (the referee) explained to us that you can't celebrate with the fans in the stands because it might cause crowds and stampedes, but the referee said there was no dangerous situation at the time, and that's what he explained to me. Hopefully they can explain the rules to us clearly before the season starts."

Should that stampede by Gonzalez be a red card?

"I didn't see that move, but I still had the mark of shoe nails on my feet."

Question about caddy?

"It should be like the Premier League, putting multiple backup balls on the sidelines, which would be easier."

How does the team feel now after losing?

"Sounds. I tell you, there is almost nothing to comfort us now, but tomorrow the sun rises as usual, and we will work hard. This loss must sting us, and we must make it our motivation. We must keep this feeling in our hearts and take courage."

About the team's defeat in a strong dialogue?

"Football is not all about digital things, not always smooth sailing. We have to learn from it, and sometimes a blow must also be transformed into a positive thing. Praise makes people weak, and today we are a wake-up call by reality, that is, the team is in a rebuilding period, and there are still very, very many places to improve. Atletico Madrid is much better than us today, we have to lower our heads and work harder."

What do you think the gap you see on the field today?

"I don't think Atletico Madrid is much better than us. Losses happen in some very specific situations, and we could have corrected them. At critical moments, we must be more decisive."

Is this a realistic alert?

"You can't always think that you will win all the games. There are many excellent opponents in this league. If you don't show 100% of your status and don't compete on every front, you may lose."

Is the team one level missing?

"I don't know if it's a matter of intensity, but I agree with you. The coach asked us to work harder during the halftime break. Atletico Madrid has more belief in those confrontations, which is a key point in the game."

As the captain, what would you say?

"Transformed the frustration and bad mood brought by today's defeat. At least for me, it's about enduring pain, swallowing the bitterness, and then tomorrow with energy and strength to go to Almaty's away Champions League game to score three points."
