20-year-old centre-back Jacobo Ramon has struggled to make an impact in his first-team debut for Real Madrid football.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has spoken about Jacobo Ramon. The 20-year-old centre-back who started in Wednesday’s 3-2 Copa del Rey quarter-final win at Leganes. Saying he still has some kinks to work on and needs to improve to be part of the first-team squad until the end of the season. According to Marca สมัคร UFABET

‘It was a close game. We didn’t start well, but we took the lead and took advantage of the opposition. The team played very well in the forward areas, very efficient. Although it is true that we had problems in the defensive areas.’ 

‘Jacobo had a little bit of a problem for his first game. He was a bit nervous in the first half. Gonzalo (Garcia) is doing well for (Real Madrid) Castilla and he helped in the game.’

Ancelotti said:

‘We have to be satisfied with what the young players can do. We have to rely on them. It’s a complicated and difficult moment. We have to move forward with a game like today. Where we are at a disadvantage. We are in the semi-finals and the young players are involved. Endrick scored and left a good feeling. Arda did a great job with the team. We have to come back from this game with satisfaction.’ said Ancelotti.

Despite Jacobo’s poor start to life, the Italian coach has confirmed that. The 20-year-old centre-back will remain with the first-team until the end of the season. 

‘Jagobo didn’t play as well as expected today. I think he still has problems in his first game with the first team. He’s a very good defender. We rely on him. He’ll be with us until the end of the season. And He could have played better today, I believe.’
