Carlo Ancelotti knows that this season, more than in others if possible, he will be the scapegoat for everything that happens in the Real Madrid. Of everything bad. The Italian, who at the end of the season will undertake the exciting experience of becoming Brazil coachit is already amortized for the white club. Florentino Perez You have one year to choose your replacement and pluck the daisy between Raúl, to those who do not have much faith; a Xabi Alonso who would have to be evicted from Leverkusen; or even rescue a Zinedine Zidane which has always given good results.
From three forwards to one
Until that happens, the Italian must deal, in addition to the usual demands of the Madrid bench, with an unbalanced template due to the poor planning of the president and José Ángel Sánchez. Two seasons ago, in the meeting he had with both of them at the end of the course, Carletto ‘recommended’ signing a third striker to complete that demarcation that Benzema and Mariano occupied.
Two summers later, Real Madrid not only ignored the Italian’s advice, but now finds itself with a single area forward: Joselu. Prisoner of eternal negotiation with a Kylian Mbappé whose landing at the Bernabéu in the immediate future is condemning the present white team, this Madrid is considered to be one of the worst offensive teams in Europe in percentage of success against the rival goal at this start of the season with a meager 12.8%. While the whites cling to the offensive production of Bellinghamthe list of scorers in the League is full of scorers trained in the white youth academy such as Arribas, Kubo, Mayoral, Hugo Duro and even William José.
The defeat against Atlético (3-1) has raised the first wave of criticism, capitalized on the figure of Ancelotti, as the Italian knew would happen. But Carlo is clear about his strategy and contrary to what he has done in previous years, betting on a fixed block and repeating an eleven that the fans came to recite by heart, This course has opted to showcase all the reinforcements in the eleven showcase that Florentino and JAS have given him this season. Bellingham, Joselu, Fran García, Brahim and Kepa They enjoy minutes at this start.
And it’s just missing Arda Gulerwho was injured again while his entourage was surprised by the haste with which the Turk was included in a call-up. “An extraordinary talent”, Carlo noted in the press room while the player was undergoing tests to find out the extent of the injury that occurred at the end of training. It was not the first disappointment in recent days. At the weekend the technician saw how Vinicius He fell due to an untimely gastronteritis just after being included in a call-up returning after injury, like Arda.
20 players and rotations
Ancelotti this year has taken off his corset and has opted to change the scheme to optimize Bellingham’s resource and also to give flight to Tchouameni and Camavingatwo other reinforcements that are eating Modric’s ground and Kroos. It seems that the Italian is clear about how to manage this farewell year at Real Madrid while being in the center of the target. He is going to put everything he has in the window, showing with his usual emotional intelligence that he manages an unbalanced workforce and with identifiable deficits in the forward and left back positions.

Of them only six have scored, waiting for this Saturday’s match against leader Girona (6:30 p.m.) to change the dynamics.
The dull pulse that Madrid’s offices and bench maintain in this transition season has caused the swerve of Carletto who is clear that if he has to die on his feet he will do so by earning the respect of a locker room that has always supported him. The offices already left him in the lurch once and now they have condemned him to survive with an unbalanced workforce.
