Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is searching for solutions to their current struggles, and he will put out his response to their Clasico thrashing against AC Milan in the Champions League this evening. He has been calling a Rossoneri legend of late for advice.
Two of the most successful sides in European Cup history will meet at the Santiago Bernabeu this evening, with Los Blancos desperately in need of a response following their loss to Barcelona, and Milan desperately in need of points, having won just one of their opening three games.
Much of the talk inthe aftermath of the Clasico was about the fact that Ancelotti has struggled to find the right balance to get the best out of his players. In an interview with GdS (via Diario AS), Arrigo Sacchi hinted that he might have been been bouncing ideas of his former manager.
“Carlo is a lovely man, he has called me at least seven times in the last few days. He is intelligent and modest, after all they are qualities that never travel separately. He was the first player I asked Berlusconi about, he was doubtful. I had just arrived at Milan, I was fifth, and Carletto’s knees didn’t seem to offer great guarantees. I immediately told him that with him we would win the championship.”
There is no shortage of opinions on what Ancelotti should do to alter things at Real Madrid, with former forward Karim Benzema weighing in on what is stopping them from getting the best out of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. The opinion he will have to pay the most attention to is that of Florentino Perez, who if reports are to be believed, wants to see one or two players dropped – although wins can convince most people of football of anything, no matter how you do it.
Why is ancelotti doesn’t let play Endrick and Arda Guler
Arda and endrick are better than camavinga and mbappe at their natural position, don carlo give those guys their chances please, and do overlook some of their mistakes they would surely discover their bests.
Arda has less defensive capabilities,but camavinga can do better
I think jude , modric and Arda are more of attacking options than defensive
We lack balance
Endrick should’ve subbed in on mbappe’s position.
Carlo is a great coach but a problem to these youngsters. Very promising and enterprising. Look at Barca. Out of necessity they used academy boys and the result is there.
Endrick, Guler, rodrygo, Camavinga, Brahim…they all need serious game time. Remember in the days of Zidane, he had 2 fully fleshed squads.
Carlo needs to consider rotating his squad game by game
