Real Madrid: Confidence with a warning for Ancelotti

The leaders of Real Madrid, led by Florentino Perez, are calm about Carlo Ancelotti. There is concern about what the team offers in the final matches. At the same time, there is also the certainty that if there is anyone capable of turning the situation around, it is the Italian coach, who is under contract with the Madrid team until June 30, 2026. This link was renewed last December and after the signing The Champions League and La Liga joined Real Madrid's prize list. It is true that the lack of reaction shown by the team in extreme situations like those experienced against Barcelona and AC Milan is worrying.

In the confidence that is transmitted, it seems illogical to talk about extreme situations which could lead to drastic decisions, which has not crossed the minds of the leaders. In the current sporting structure of Real Madrid, Raul Gonzalez and Santiago Solari are the alternatives that could exist in such a possible, albeit distant, solution.

The conversations began with a lunch at Valdebebas with Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti as guests after Barcelona's 4-0 victory, during which the club conveyed calm. It is usual for the president to go to Valdebebas, but less often that coffee turns into lunch. As is usual, after the match against Milan there was a new meeting and greater discontent. Logic. A reaction was requested, but it did not come and this is what leads the current Real Madrid to experience a unthinkable situation for everyone When Mbappé presented himself at the Santiago Bernabeu last July. At any moment, the tense calm can turn into something more, even if the climate of trust and respect has nothing to do with the latest layoffs of coaches in full season like Benitez, Lopetegui and Solari himself.

A tense calm

In recent weeks, the club had already suggested that perhaps the work carried out this summer in terms of squad planning or the necessary balance had not been the most successful. It's time to fix it and that's why Real Madrid have started to look towards the winter transfer window, accentuated by Dani Carvajal's injury and the results that followed. There is no belief, but you have to go to a market that has not been used for five years, just when Reinier arrived.

The reality is that Kroos, Nacho and Joselu on the left, the first two legends having weight within the team and the third with a Madrid feeling and an undeniable contribution. In their place came Kylian Mbappé and Endrickwith unequal contributions, one with little success and the other with little presence.

Ancelotti understands perfectly what is football and the demands of Real Madrid. He understands criticism, as well as the fact that certain aspects of the team are failing, starting with attitude and ending with physical appearance, as the data shows. What's strange is that everything worked until last June and suddenly, it's as if the curtain has fallen. The performance is not yet over, but it will be the results that will put everyone in their place. The reaction must come now or decisions could be rushed, but support still exists within the club for the coach.

During last fall the situation has never been as tense as todaybut that didn't mean there wasn't talk of replacements and the end of Carlo Ancelotti's tenure as head coach of the club. Names and alternatives were discussed, but he ended up renewing his contract. Now Real Madrid deny any approach towards any coach for next seasonfor which Ancelotti is under contract. If there's one thing that's been demonstrated by Real Madrid's recent coaching changes, it's that they went into the end of the season without a decision on the future having been made, and now this is no exception. Just look at how the Italian's return was forged.
