Raul Gonzalez insists Real Madrid academy is 'the best in the world' – points the finger at Carlo Ancelotti
Real Madrid Castilla manager Raul Gonzalez has stood up for the academy players at La Fabrica, claiming that the only difference between his youth products and those who have succeeded in Barcelona are the opportunities.
With Marc Casado, Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal impressing at Barcelona, and Real Madrid going through an injury crisis but rarely using youngsters, there has been a lot of talk about the difference between the two approaches. However, during Los Blancos' last game, Carlo Ancelotti used Raul Asencio after Eder Militao went down injured.
“The raid of Asencio gave a boost to the young players. It gave them hope to reach the first team and also allows them to face the discourse of comparison with the youth academy of Barcelona,” he said. Sport.
Raul He also noted that the opportunities in Real Madrid are not being given to the players, despite the fact that they are quite good in their eyes. A statement that can only lead to the conclusion that he feels that Carlo Ancelotti is not right for them.
“Real Madrid has gone through one of the best moments in history and the demands of the first team are not easy. With the raid of Asencio it was shown that the boys are ready, like the others who have passed here and triumphed in other leagues. The youth team of Real Madrid is prepared and showed it.”
“The only thing that is missing is that the opportunity to arrive that arises because of the circumstances and that maybe they have arrived in other clubs. What is clear is that Madrid is the best academy.”
Ancelotti rarely called the academy players at Real Madrid, and they were not given a major role by Zinedine Zidane before him. He has reasoned in the past that it is very difficult to get into the first team, and that his job is to win games not to bring players. Recent reports say that even with the injuries, Ancelotti is not confident in the quality of the young people who pass from Castile.
