Captain Benjamin Andre listed problems with pressing, intensity and work on the ball. Ancelotti called the meeting with Betis an opportunity to show different football in front of the home fans.
Ayase Ueda made his club debut in the same game, scoring the winner after coming on as a substitute, while other summer arrivals — Marius Kjaergaard, Orlando Gill and Dylan Bakwa — also started on the bench.
