The Real Madrid coach is under fire from criticism after the defeat conceded in the Madrid derby on Sunday (1-3).
It’s rare enough to be underlined: Carlo Ancelotti is not on the rise. In an environment where everything flares up faster than elsewhere, the Real Madrid coach pays for his uninspired choices during the derby lost against Atlético on Sunday evening (1-3).
Ancelotti is notably criticized for having done without a professional center forward (Joselu) for having left dinosaurs in decline in the eleven. “ I am a calm person, with the ability to evaluate things, but questioning a team that has won six games out of seven… it seems too much to me, he explained on Tuesday. Give me a summary of all the ones that came across me! Nothing, nothing, nothing bothers me. It’s my job, as I said before. It’s not true that I don’t dare leave Modric and Kroos on the bench. Here, all matches are important. If I had to respond to all the reviews… pfff.. I would spend a lot of time here. »
Ancelotti not threatened in the short term?
Annoyed, can Carlo Ancelotti shorten his mission? The Italian sees his contract expire next summer. And he has the assurance of becoming Brazil’s next coach. But one name comes up insistently in the current context, that of one of its former players, Xabi Alonso. “I know him, because I had him as a player. He has enormous knowledge of football and he is doing very well at Leverkusen. I wish him, like Raúl or Arbeloa, to coach Real Madrid one day. Because they’re the best and I really like them. I hope one day they can coach this club”.
A formula suggesting that the Real coach does not feel threatened in the short term. Carlo Ancelotti will, however, be expected at the turn for the match against Las Palmas, this Wednesday (7 p.m.).
