Ancelotti backs his players

The Bundesliga champions celebrated yesterday their victory 3-1 against Ingolstadt and were criticized but Carlos Ancelotti backs his players and admits they can't always play perfectly.

"We are playing a lot of games, with a lot of new players returning from injury, who are maybe not yet in top condition. Sometimes we need to suffer".

The 56-year-old admitted that they can't win every game and must suffer sometimes.

"We were missing a lot of players but we have a good squad. After conceding an early goal the game was difficult.

"We had problems at the back and it wasn't an easy game. We were able to equalise early and we played well in the second half and wrapped up the points with Rafinha's goal"

He justified their match and said: "It was very difficult for us. Sometimes it's impossible to play beautifully. You have to display other qualities then. The team did just that".
