Getafe coach Sanchez Flores: First goal key to beating Real Madrid

Getafe coach Quique Sanchez Flores was delighted with victory over Real Madrid.

Getafe shocked Real Madrid 1-0 on Sunday.

Sanchez Flores said: "(Carlo) Ancelotti knows his team well. He knows the strengths and weaknesses and the levels they can reach. When you are in front there are things that never seem wrong to you.

"Madrid have unstoppable things and if you analyse it from below you still see technically an almost perfect team with pinpoint precision and excellent communication skills.

"You also had to see that our players did an excellent job of blinding Madrid's vision of the game. If they had found the goal at the beginning instead of us probably the difficulty would have changed places.

"We would have seemed more clumsy. It had to be seen that we got ahead. It changed the script of the game to the rival, their best players were finding themselves with difficulties prepared by the rival and when the players have to change that vision of the game, probably coming from a week disconnected from training is not the best week for that type of game."
