In a press conference after the new defeat of Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, Carlo Ancelotti did not reassure the Madrilenians. Slapped 3-1 by\u2019AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, the merengues players put their coach in a very delicate position.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid suffered another painful blow to their morale with a 3-1 Champions League defeat to AC Milan, following their 4-0 loss to Barcelona in La Liga. Hopes were high for Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s squad to bounce back, but they delivered a lifeless performance, lacking energy, cohesion, and organization on the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Mentally, we are not doing well \u00bb<\/p>\n
In a post-match press conference, Ancelotti expressed serious concerns about the team\u2019s mental and defensive struggles. The coach, facing increasing criticism, explained that midfielder Federico Valverde\u2019s early substitution was due to a back issue affecting his fitness. However, Ancelotti highlighted the broader, collective issues at hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should be worried. In the last two games, we\u2019ve lacked solidity,\u201d Ancelotti admitted, noting that defensive disorganization has left Real Madrid vulnerable. \u201cThis isn\u2019t an individual problem; it\u2019s a collective one. Mentally, we\u2019re not in a good place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ancelotti stressed that the defensive lapses are the responsibility of the entire team. \u201cWe can\u2019t keep defending like this. It\u2019s everyone\u2019s fault. We win and lose together,\u201d he added, as Real Madrid now stands with just 6 points out of a possible 12 after four Champions League games.<\/p>\n
With Liverpool, who currently lead the group stage with a perfect 12 points, set as Real Madrid\u2019s next opponent, Ancelotti and his squad face mounting pressure and a potentially tense few days ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
