The Italy manager is increasingly concerned about the market Real Madrid are tapping and shares it with the president
Carlo Ancelotti starts to know nothing more about Real Madrid project. It’s true that Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler are full of talent and youth, but in the end it is the result that counts for a coach. And for now, the club’s transfer strategy is weakening the squad.
Florentino Pérez’s obsession with Kylian Mbappé is starting to hurt the club. It’s clear that everything will be resolved when Mbappé arrives. But to date there is no sense that this will happen. At least not for this season. Ancelotti knows this and is beginning to see the consequences of Benzema’s departure from Real Madrid.
Ancelotti is unsure about Real Madrid’s course
All seams were visible against FC Barcelona. There is nothing in football without a goal. Nobody will remember how well you played if you don’t get results. In the friendly in Las Vegas, Real Madrid showed a lot of mobility and the ability to reach the opponent’s goal in reality.
But the white team lacked the clout. Up to five shots against the post and a missed penalty were the result of a game that they clearly lost 0:3. It seems clear that if Ancelotti had bet on Mbappé, all those chances would have produced different results for Real Madrid. Juventus once again showed the colors of Real Madrid with a relatively easy 3-1.
Ancelotti wants a top striker, yes or yes
But today, only two weeks until the start of the season, Ancelotti does not have this player to ensure Real Madrid 25-30 goals a season. Because Benzema is gone and the new system with Bellingham as a false 9 and Vinicius and Rodrygo as points doesn’t bring any revenue.
It’s still a month out and the Mbappé soap opera will have more episodes to come. But Ancelotti is close to defying the Real Madrid president. Should the French striker fail to arrive, the Italy coach will call for the arrival of a difference striker this summer.
