Ancelotti confident he can turn things around at Real Madrid, club calm over situation | OneFootball

According to a recent report by MARCA, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti and club president Florentino Perez recently held a significant meeting aimed at evaluating the team’s direction following their disappointing loss in El Clasico.

Interestingly, unlike previous instances where tension built up with managers like Rafa Benitez and Julen Lopetegui before their exits, this meeting was marked by calmness and mutual support.

In fact, Perez and other club leaders wanted to gauge Ancelotti’s confidence in his ability to steer the team back on track, and the manager conveyed a firm sense of optimism.

Tough time for the club

Despite this backing, there is an acknowledgement within the club that results must improve, and Ancelotti is now under more pressure to deliver.

Although Ancelotti has highlighted these challenges in his messages from the season’s start, yet it appears the players may not be fully responding to his calls.

Concerns extend beyond Ancelotti, with some players reportedly feeling uneasy about the team’s current state. The three goals conceded to Milan have dealt a considerable blow, as these goals arose from recurring issues seen in past matches.

Ancelotti is trying

Ancelotti continues to make tactical adjustments, hoping for a breakthrough, yet frustrations are mounting as the expected response from the squad has been slow in coming.

Within the club, signs of dissatisfaction are beginning to surface. Interestingly, this incident mirrors last season’s events when relatives of some Barcelona players publicly criticised coach Xavi during tough times.

These growing signs of discontent reveal the depth of concern surrounding Real Madrid’s current situation, and while there is still faith in Ancelotti, he faces an undeniable challenge in restoring unity and focus in the squad.
