Pellegrini Pleased With Real Madrid's Win At Real Sociedad
Real Madrid racked up another pre-season win on Saturday night, and Manuel Pellegrini is pleased with his side's progress.
Los Merengues ran out 2-0 winners at the Anoeta against Real Sociedad, with Karim Benzema and Wesley Sneijder getting the goals.
Speaking to AS after the match, Pellegrini expressed his satisfaction, saying, "The pre-season is going according to plan."
"There were times when we tried to play in colour, when it is sometimes necessary to play in black and white."
"In the second half, we pressed further up and accelerated our play."
Pellegrini then praised Xabi Alonso, who made his return to San Sebastian, continuing, "He maintained order throughout our play."
Finally, Pellegrini reserved some praise for Royston Drenthe, stating, "He provides a great attacking alternative."
