With a 4-0 win over the "friendly" Espanyol, Real Madrid successfully won la Liga this season. On the winning poster pushed by Real Madrid, Ancelotti sat firmly in the C position.
On the way to success, Ancelotti should not only thank Benzema, who has amazing shooting skills, but also a man who has made up for his shortcomings.
01. Ancelotti's Milestone: Grand Slam "Doubles"
a. First man in history: The five major league championships are full
This title also allowed the Italian coach to complete two levels of Grand Slam: first of all, the first manager in football history to collect the champions of the five major leagues in Europe, and secondly, it also allowed Ancelotti to collect all 6 championships after taking over Real Madrid twice.
In his first time at Real Madrid, Ancelotti helped the team win the 10th Champions League title in team history, completing a historic breakthrough and laying a solid foundation for the subsequent climax.
Also in the same year, Ancelotti's Real Madrid won the Spanish Copa del Rey, achieving a single-season double, but unfortunately missed the league title.
A lot of times, when fans talk about Ancelotti, they always say, "He's not good at playing in the league." But it was such a coach who was "not good at the league" and became the first person.
Although he has only won five league titles in the five major leagues, the configuration is so "balanced" that people have to be convinced.
b. Alternative "Six Champions": Completed the Real Madrid career Grand Slam
In his first time at Real Madrid, Ancelotti won four glories in the Champions League, Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup, but missed La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup.
This time from Everton back to the Bernabeu, Ancelotti brought the first 2 titles, it was the original missing Spanish Super Cup and La Liga titles, making his coaching career at Real Madrid "complete".
Of course, Ancelotti still has a chance to "repeat" to win other glories, and this season the team still has a chance.
02. The road to success is not just thanks to Benzema: Pintus makes up for Ancelotti's shortcomings
a. From "Benser Cat" to Benser Thanos! Ancelotti smiled and blossomed
Benzema debuted in Ligue 1 that year, winning the Golden Boot and the league MVP, and is known as Ronaldo's successor. But after coming to Real Madrid, he could not become the attacking core of the team, which made him a little unable to find his accurate positioning.
At that time, Mourinho's sentence "You don't have a dog to accompany yourself to hunting, so you can only choose to take a cat with you, after all, it is better to talk than nothing", which made Benzema once become the laughing stock of everyone, and it was also the "back pot man" of Real Madrid.
However, after C Ronaldo left, Benzema finally ushered in his own "protagonist time". He proved his talent and talent with one goal after another.
Now he is not only close to one championship after another with him at the core, but also infinitely close to the glory of the Ballon d'Or.
Against Espanyol, Benzema made his 601st appearance of his Real Madrid career, equaling Hierro and becoming the sixth person to appear in Real Madrid's history.
On the other hand, Benzema became the third French player to score 47 goals in a single season in the last 50 years. Currently leading the Champions League and La Liga top scorers, he has won 29 titles in his career and is the first champion in the history of French football.
B. Fitness coach Pintus: Made up for Ancelotti's shortcomings
Ancelotti's success is not only thanks to Benzema, but also to the help of physical coach Pintus.
The man who dreamed of running in the Olympics but did not succeed has achieved outstanding results in the field of physical training. When he was at Juve, he gave Zidane a lot of help, allowing him to be brought to Real Madrid by the Frenchman and become the hero behind the team's three consecutive Champions League titles.
In Pintus' first devil training class that year, Benzema only lasted 25 minutes before leaving the field due to physical discomfort. But is it an accident that the 34-year-old Benzema was able to complete a 100-meter dash against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea in the Champions League knockout rounds to break the goalkeeper?
The 36-year-old Modric even pushed back directly after breaking the ball, carrying the ball all the way so that the youngsters could not keep up, and finally sent a wonderful pass that killed Paris.
Behind all this, perhaps thanks to the fact that 6 years ago, the small old man who looked like a devil was able to leave Inter last summer and return to Real Madrid.
Ancelotti's consistent shortcoming is that the quality of training is not high, so his team is often not stable enough in the league throughout the year. After all, fat people are generally people with wide hearts, and well-trained coaches, such as Guardiola, Klopp and others, their own figure explains a lot of problems.
With the help of Pintus, it has made up for Ancelotti's shortcomings to the greatest extent and made this Real Madrid more effective.
Pintus earned respect and trust at Real Madrid in a simple way, at the age of 55, he insisted on completing the same amount of training with the players, and when the young Asensio and Rodrigo were in pain, they also had to admire Pintus for his strength.
03. A battered defensive line: limits an shuai's team to the next level
a. Even if there is a goal god: it is inevitable to lose the ball
Perhaps the only thing Real Madrid has been able to complain about in the defensive this season is goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has kept 14 clean sheets in La Liga (second), saved 90 times (4th) and even saved a penalty.
In this season's strong dialogue, as long as the positional opponent completes the quality of the no-ball running cover, it is easy to pull the real Madrid center-back to move and find a breakthrough.
Mahrez's incision cannot be said to be sharp this time, but Real Madrid's as many as 5 defenders have not been able to play their due role. Modric is not so good at grabbing, and without Casemiro, Kroos is almost in a sight-to-eye position.
De Bruyne's goal completely exposed the problems of the Real Madrid defence:
1. The fast, positional 2 centre-backs are too easy to follow the no-ball man.
2. After the midfield has aged, Modric, Kroos and even Casemiro are not very efficient.
3. The air defense is poor, and it is easy to find opportunities in the opponent's cross.
In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in midweek, it is difficult to say whether Alaba's injury will catch up with the game, which will also make the already unreliable defense more vulnerable.
After all, letting Militang, who is not dominant in strength, frequently grab it may lead to more problems. This time the kick missed to give Mahrez a chance, thanks to Foden's lack of shots, otherwise it would be really difficult for Real Madrid to have a chance in the second leg.
b. Next work: look at Benzema
This season, Real Madrid, in the case of disadvantage, really relies too much on Benzema's play. When Chelsea have multiple people who can catch the ball and attack, Real Madrid may have only one way: find Benzema.
Real Madrid may solve the problem of both sides next season by waiving Mbappe and Rudiger, but at least facing Manchester City's second leg, the burden is still on Benzema's shoulders, and it is up to Vinicius to give more help.
Conclusion:
Bringing such a squad incomplete, the core players are older really to such a height, Ancelotti is really very good. Whether it can go to the next level depends on the performance of the team at the Bernabeu in the following week.
