CARLO ANCELOTTI: “REAL IS NOT DOWN!” »

Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, is facing a challenging period following two defeats, including a devastating loss against FC Barcelona at home last Sunday with a scoreline of 3-4. Despite this, Ancelotti remains optimistic, as he shared with France Football.

Ancelotti reflected, “The work we’ve done is not lost. We were on a good path before these matches. However, what’s concerning is that we conceded six goals, indicating critical mistakes that we must address promptly. We need to improve our focus on our positions… We are still in the title race, which wasn’t the case last season.”

Acknowledging the upcoming challenges, Ancelotti emphasized the importance of maintaining a winning attitude and determination. He also praised Rayo Vallecano’s playing style under Paco Jémez, anticipating a match with high intensity.

Regarding the team’s condition, Ancelotti provided updates on the squad, mentioning Modric’s recent illness, Ronaldo’s knee issue, and expressing confidence in Xabi Alonso despite recent performances.
