Real Madrid boss Ancelotti: Our problems are all in attack

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti blamed their attack for defeat to Athletic Bilbao. Ancelotti says they're relying too much on "individual" skill.

"There is no link-up play, our play is too based around individual play, we need another way of attacking, with faster play and fewer touches. It is quite confusing to see what we're doing at the moment in attack. The ball doesn't move around quickly.

"Our problem is mostly to do with attacking, we are not finding the same attacking solutions as we did previously. In the last few games we have just scored from penalties. That is the problem that we need to fix. We are lacking a little effectiveness up front."

He added: "It isn't about attitudes. I see the problem in our attack and that is what we have to fix. Our attitude is good. We all know that every game is very important at this stage. It isn't a lack of attitude, it is a lack of technique."
