’one of the main criticisms against’ of’Ancelotti concerns its tactical management. During the Clasico, his choices were not convinced. Dplayers like Aurelien Chouamani or Lucas Vazquez, targeted for their defensive faults, were kept on the field despite performances below. However, alternatives existed, especially with profiles like Fede Valverde or Raul Asencio. But Ancelotti preferred to stay true to his trusted men, a bet that cost dearly.
Mercato, another source of tension

The current crisis is beyond the field. The lack of reinforcements during the last mercatos is a subject of contention, both within the club and’ with the fans.

His friendly relations with Joan Laporta, president of Barca, and his behavior after the defeat – including his exchanges with Robert Lewandowski – irritated some of the supporters. Despite this tense climate, some players try to maintain cohesion. Thibaut Courtois, one of the few to have shone against Barca, spoke to defend his teammates. The Belgian goalkeeper acknowledged that the’ team had to learn from this defeat. But his interventions are not enough to mask thecracks in the group. D’other frames, such as Luka Modric, call for’unity, but their voice seems more and more isolated.

Ancelotti
