Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has taken responsibility for some of the gaps that appeared in his team against Celta Vigo, explaining that he did not explain well enough to his players what he wanted to do. In the first half, Aurelien Tchouameni fell between central defenders Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger, but that plan was scrapped in the second.
However, during the match, the Italian was a little less diplomatic. Known for his composure and confident management style, Ancelotti lost with two of his players on Saturday night in Galicia, report. Relief. The first star to bear the weight of his frustrations was Tchouameni, who was called on the line to correct his position. Militao was the other to receive harsh words from Ancelotti, with him and Rudiger getting too far up the pitch without paying attention to their defensive position.
The French midfielder, who has been used in defense on a semi-regular basis in 2024, has suffered in recent weeks from a lack of form and a lack of solutions. AS Diary say that, while Ancelotti continues to trust him, he operates on loan, with his passing and contributions off the ball not at the level currently expected. His performances disappointed Valdebebas.
One of the key problems is clearly the absence of Toni Kroos next to him, but equally Real Madrid has seen a little lack of ideas in general. Tchouameni was expected to become director of operations in the engine room with Fede Valverde, but none of the midfield of Los Blancos is at the level they wanted, and Tchouameni faced the most difficulties.
