Ancelotti's Bold Response to Real Madrid's Struggles
After Real Madrid's defeat to Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti delivered one of his most intense press conferences, addressing the team's challenges, tactics, and future ambitions.
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti faced the press with remarkable candor following the team's disappointing 3-1 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. As the team prepares for a crucial Copa del Rey clash against Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabéu, Ancelotti emphasized the need for resilience and focus.
Opening the press conference, Ancelotti acknowledged the setback, stating, 'We were hurt by that performance, but this team has the character to bounce back.' He added, 'The next game is our opportunity to show that we are still contenders in all competitions.'
Addressing the criticism surrounding Aurélien Tchouaméni, who played as a central defender, Ancelotti defended his decision, saying, 'Considering it’s not his natural position, he performed well. The data backs it up.' The coach assured fans that Tchouaméni would return to his preferred role as a defensive midfielder once David Alaba is fit.
When asked about the team’s defensive vulnerabilities, Ancelotti was firm, stating, 'This is a press conference, not a tactical breakdown. These discussions happen within the team, and solutions are already in motion.'
The coach remained optimistic, highlighting the squad’s potential: 'This team is built on youth, energy, and quality. A single bad game does not define us. I trust every player, especially those working to regain top form.'
On potential transfers, Ancelotti remained tight-lipped, noting, 'We’ve discussed internally how to strengthen the team, but these conversations are private. Our focus remains on maximizing the potential of the current squad.'
In closing, Ancelotti reaffirmed his commitment to Real Madrid, saying, 'Being the coach of Real Madrid is the greatest professional honor. This bench is where every coach dreams of being.'
