Ancelotti praises Joselu after his winning goal vs. Sociedad

Carlo Ancelotti has praised new forward Joselu after he secured the 3 points with his goal vs. Real Sociedad on Sunday.

❗️Carlo Ancelotti bet on Joselu as Rodrygo’s partner in attack after Viní Jr’s injury. A decision that was not only logical, but also inevitable. A source around Ancelotti said: “What do you want? He has no other options”. @GuillermoRai_ pic.twitter.com/Ao547WLMlP

The former Stoke City and Newcastle attacker inked with the Royal club during the summer transfer window after a fantastic 4-year spell in Spain after leaving the Premier League – a time in which Joselu scored double digits goals in 4 straight campaigns.

The Spaniard has continued his impressive form since signing with the biggest team in the world, netting his 2^nd goal in the league this season, and his most important since his transfer that allowed Real Madrid to come back and beat Real Sociedad 2-1 at Santiago Bernabeu.

“Joselu can score at any moment because he plays very well with his back and face and is very dangerous in attack. We know that we can count on him,” Ancelotti claimed.

“Joselu’s form is very important because we don’t have a replacement for his position, and in past seasons, we didn’t forward like that.”
