After a week where almost no criticism was made against him, the Champions League-winning coach also has some complaints to make.
“My players are not lazy but we struggle to work effectively together “, Ancelotti said on Tuesday after the defeat against AC Milan, while on Friday he challenged his players to put into practice what they had discussed during the week. He also insisted loudly on commitment, sacrifice and collective spirit.
According to Relevo, Ancelotti “ hated » when Kylian Mbappé doesn’t bother to run, when Vinicius Junior doesn’t press after losing the ball, or when the central midfielders do what they want. His press conference before Osasuna was deliberately singled out, and he believes he and the club deserve better, having protected them on numerous occasions.
“The club deserves better”
Ancelotti would also welcome more support from the club and wants the club to strengthen its squad, but he does not dare point fingers in public. He believes he owes everything to Florentino Perez and whatever the club’s position on transfers, he will follow it.
Things got serious very quickly at the Bernabéu, and it’s certainly a risky move on Ancelotti’s part. It’s clear he doesn’t have many other tools in his box to try to elicit a reaction. As he said, all his words will be lost in the wind, what will remain are the performances.
