“I’m sorry to say, but he can no longer work under me at Madrid”- Ancellotti breaks £100M forgotten Madrid star’s heart and tells him to look for a new club by Summer transfer window after causing the first and Second goal- It’s the End
Real Madrid’s underwhelming season has sparked intense speculation about a potential change in leadership, with French football journalist Julien Laurens suggesting that the club’s hierarchy may decide to make a change. “He won’t be there next season,” Laurens said, referring to the possibility of manager Carlo Ancelotti being replaced.
According to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, Ancelotti’s approach has its limitations. While he has been successful in maintaining a harmonious dressing room and keeping the team’s belief high, the team’s performances have highlighted the need for a more nuanced and tactical approach.
Balague astutely observed that the team’s reliance on a core group of players has taken a toll, with the players looking physically and mentally exhausted. The team’s failure to effectively utilize their second-tier talent, such as Arda Guler and Brahim Díaz, has also been a concern, with these players being underused in critical games.
The recent Champions League elimination at the hands of Arsenal has brought these issues to a head, with Laurens describing the team’s performance as an “absolute mess.” Balague concurred, stating that the warning signs have been there for months and that the team’s performances have been a grind, lacking the spark and creativity that once defined them.
With a Copa del Rey final against Barcelona looming and a chance to defend their La Liga title, Real Madrid still have some silver linings. However, the club’s hierarchy is likely to face tough decisions this summer, including potential high-profile exits and arrivals.
The club is expected to make significant changes, with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to arrive from Liverpool. Laurens emphasized the need for bold and decisive action, questioning whether the club can keep players like Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo in their current roles, given the team’s struggles to find cohesion and fluidity.
Balague also believed that the squad needs a refresh, highlighting the need for new energy and a midfield controller to replace the likes of Toni Kroos. He suggested that the club may need to make tough decisions regarding players like Luka Modric, Lucas Vázquez, and David Alaba, who may not be part of the club’s long-term plans.
Ultimately, Real Madrid’s priority will be to ensure they are back competing for Champions League titles in the near future, and the club’s hierarchy will need to take decisive action to restore the team’s former glory.
