In the aftermath of Real Madrid’s recent performance, manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his dissatisfaction with the team’s lack of defensive stability despite creating numerous scoring chances. The Italian coach acknowledged the team’s attacking potential but stressed that the real issue lay elsewhere.
“We had many chances,” Ancelotti stated. “We lacked accuracy; we could have scored more. But this is not the problem…”
Ancelotti highlighted Real Madrid’s struggles in defense, attributing recent setbacks to a lack of compactness and solidity, which has left the team vulnerable on the counterattack. “We don’t defend well. We need to be more compact. We lack solidity,” he continued, pinpointing defensive coordination as a key area for improvement.
The comments reflect Ancelotti’s determination to address Real Madrid’s structural issues and build a balanced squad capable of consistently challenging at the highest level. With the season in full swing, the focus on defensive adjustments could prove crucial in maintaining their momentum.
