In an interview with FlashscoreItalian legend is expressed on Real Madrid by Carlo Ancelotti version 2024-2025. For him, this Real Madrid has similarities with that of galactics in the early 2000s.
“Similarities with galactics?” I would say yes. They are galactics. They are a little more difficult to play together because MbappĂ© and Vinicius play at the same position and therefore they are walking on their feet, and they are not performing. So they have great qualities, they manage to assert what others cannot do in reduced spaces, in games that no one thinks, but it is not this harmony of play. It is a team of galactics in front, with problems in the midfield after the departure of Kroos, problems in defense with the injuries of Carvajal and others, “ he launched.
Before evoking his two passages to Real Madrid as an entity: ” Recover nine points against Barcelona was something memorable. Memorable because the team seemed disoriented. I decided to send Ronaldo, whom I consider to be the best player I have ever trained, we decided with the president to send him back. There was another problem at that time, that of Beckham, who had signed with Los Angeles, and the club felt offended and wanted him to play. I left him aside for 10 days, but David came to train properly, he was always on time, it was the last to leave. I went to see the president and I said to him: “Listen, president, from tomorrow, I put Beckham on the ground because she is a serious person. If you don't like it, send me back, but that's it… ”. And that's what happened. And from there, we started to recover points, until the last home match against Mallorca, where we lost 1-0 and where the team played on the field a football never seen as bad, fearful, dazed. In the second half, after the break, I told them calmly what they should have done, a simple thing, go to the field, play as in training, and we won 3-1 and we won the championship. »»
And to continue: “But it was really something different. The team made an incredible leap, mentally. I told them that we were not lower than Barcelona, ​​that we could be competitive and that we had to play every match like a final. It is clear that we have recovered the points because Barcelona lost them, but we can see that they relaxed as it already happened for Barcelona who had so much points on Real Madrid and which was recovered. »»
