Real Madrid is going through a strong zone of turbulence. On the pitch, Casa Blanca is second in the Liga standings, already six points behind FC Barcelona. A gap which widened after the humiliation suffered at the Bernabéu against the Blaugrana (0-4). Responsible for finding the perfect balance since the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Carlo Ancelotti has not yet managed to find the right formula. And since the start of the season, several of its stars have found themselves at the heart of criticism.
Mbappé is regularly tackled by the Madrid press because of his insipid performances at number 9, Aurélien Tchouameni never ceases to disappoint and would now be on the market, the disappearance of Endrick’s radars has not gone unnoticed, Arda Güler plays very little and Jude Bellingham has been totally lost since the arrival of Mbappé caused his repositioning. In short, nothing is going well with the reigning European champions. And Florentino Pérez does not accept that. According to Relevothe president of Casa Blanca is very concerned about what he sees on the ground and demands urgent improvement.
Pérez demands immediate improvement
He can’t believe the team is playing so poorly when he feels he’s done everything he can to make sure the team improves, all without selling any stars to replenish the coffers. of the club. Disappointed, Pérez, who is already very worried about Kylian Mbappé, expressed his dissatisfaction on several occasions during matches. After the defeat in Lille (0-1), the Madrid boss got angry when he noticed the lack of intensity of his team against a much less upscale opponent. He would have fumed more when he learned the next day that his players would have run 11 kilometers less than the Mastiffs. Finally, at half-time of the Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund (Real trailed 2-0 at the break before winning 5-2), Pérez once again let out a shout in the VIP zone.
According to Relevoseveral things put the Merengue president beside himself: the weak resistance of the defensive block, the low level displayed by Eder Militão, seeing Jude Bellingham in distress in the midfield and far from the opposing penalty area and seeing that the staff does not not enough use of players who are gaining strength. Concretely, Pérez thinks that Endrick and Arda Güler are underused. The Turk only played 292 minutes out of a maximum of 1350. For his part, the Brazilian played even less with 107 minutes played out of a possible 1302. Within the club, it is difficult to understand Ancelotti’s choice to make them play so little while they are showing good things while disappointing starters remain in place. Carlo Ancelotti is under more pressure than ever.
