Real Madrid is currently experiencing a challenging phase, exacerbated by the shocking loss to FC Barcelona (5-2) in the Supercup of Spain final. This defeat, which took place in Saudi Arabia, has triggered a wave of criticism directed at both the team and its coach, Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti now faces mounting pressure as the team prepares for the upcoming King\u2019s Cup match against Celta Vigo on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s performance against Barcelona has been labeled as a complete failure and a predictable outcome. Defensive breakdowns and a failure to capitalize on numerical advantage have exposed significant weaknesses in the team\u2019s structure. This loss has also caused unrest within the squad, with some players questioning Ancelotti\u2019s approach. Despite management\u2019s continued support for the Italian coach, another poor performance could further undermine his position.<\/p>\n
In response, Ancelotti is considering a major tactical shift. According to journalist Mario Cortegana, the coach intends to move away from the 4-3-3 formation and adopt a 4-4-2 diamond setup, a system that helped Real Madrid excel last season, with only two defeats throughout the campaign. Jude Bellingham will take on a more advanced role behind two strikers, and the team hopes this adjustment will restore the balance that has been missing this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
