Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has been removed from the idea that Los Blancos could have done the leadership with more disciplinarian, while he also rejects the idea that their attacking quartet was responsible for their lack of balance this season. Ancelotti admitted that they should not find the necessary balance this season.
The addition of Kylian Mbappe, combined with the loss of Toni Kroos, has certainly been cited as reasons for the step back from Real Madrid this season. Ancelotti has only succeeded in attacks and Bursts has succeeded in finding a well -rounded side this year. Instead of losing those two, he pointed to the cruciate ligament injuries to Eer Militao and Dani Carvajal as the decisive absence.
“The problems of this season are clear: we have lost two important players at the back and they were hard to replace. We have changed our game for players with different characteristics and we have trouble finding balance. Hopefully we will find it now. If we don't, we will have trouble winning.”
The Italian manager was also not illusions that have some hope for a La Liga and Copa del Rey double through by breaking a two-game Losing Streak to Barcelona.
“The two titles that we have at stake, not counting the World Cup, depend on the beating of Barcelona. That is the only doubt that we do not have now. We have to come strong from the next game and concentrate on the final of the Copa del Rey. We are convinced that we can do it, and we will change.”
Ancelotti was also not convinced by the idea that Los Blancos were underdogs for their upcoming draw with Barcelona.
“Not entirely, but that's how it is. They seem to be better at the moment than we are, but a final is unpredictable. Madrid Cast as the victim in a final seems a bit exaggerated to me.”
One of the most important complaints from Ancelotti this season, however, was the lack of 'collective dedication' of his attacking quartet and he was asked if he wish he had been harder to his players earlier in the season.
“In Italy they say that when there is a problem, they call it your left hand. It also happened in the first phase. I try to manage my relationships with people on the basis of who I am; in a relationship you have to show what you really are about. You think I have never been that way this season, even in the difficult time, and that is still a person.”
“I am left -handed in life because no one has ever had a right -handed relationship with me: my father, coaches, teacher … I am unable to use the whip. Draw another coach. For me that is not the way.”
That inability to find the right balance has led to important questions about the future of Ancelotti, but the Italian is planning to stay with the club, at least according to his public discourse. At the same time, Brazil again pursued his signature, with many believing that his time will be if he does not deliver the Double.
