After a 5-2 victory over Liverpool, Real Madrid went three games without a win. Madrid derby, drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid, lost 0-1 to Barça in the Copa del Rey and drew 0-0 with Betis in the previous round of the league. Such an outcome is difficult for a team of Real Madrid's level to accept, and the president of Real Madrid approached manager Carlo Ancelotti to express his dissatisfaction with him, who took charge of Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, and it will be exactly two years this summer.
The league is second placed, the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage is dominant, even if three games are not won, the manager will not be criticized and questioned for the average team, but for Real Madrid, such results are unacceptable, and the manager will be held accountable. Real Madrid are currently nine points away from top Barca in the table, and it will not be easy to overtake with 14 rounds left in the league.
Real Madrid president Florentino believes that if the match against Atletico can be won, then Real Madrid still have a chance to compete with Barça for the title, and Real Madrid failed to win that game. Then lost to Barca and drew with Betis, Flo couldn't bear the anger of the enemy, according to Spain's Relevo, Real Madrid president Florentino had a long exchange with Ancelotti after the draw against Betis, and pointed out that he was very unhappy with Ancelotti's recent decisions.
More insiders pointed out that as early as after the Spanish Super Cup defeat to Barca, Florentino became dissatisfied with Ancelotti. Now the results have not improved, but they have not won three consecutive games, which has deepened Florentino's dissatisfaction with Carlo Ancelotti. Although Real Madrid's results cannot be entirely blamed on Carlo Ancelotti, as a manager there is a responsibility to take responsibility, after all, whether it is buying and selling players and player use, the manager has a lot of decision-making power.
In fact, Real Madrid's poor results are related to the state of some players, the last three games Real Madrid defense is quite solid, but the attack is not good, as Ancelotti said, the team is inefficient in the front and does not create more opportunities, and the decline in the form of veteran Benzema in the front has a great impact on the team. Previously, some media reported that Benzema was no longer thinking about the club and wanted to go to the Saudi league to earn a high salary, and Benzema's absence made Real Madrid's attack dull.
But for whatever reason, if Ancelotti does not offer a solution, then he is doomed to responsibility. From 2013 to 2015, Carlo Ancelotti coached Real Madrid and led Real Madrid to complete four titles, but the next season due to injuries, Real Madrid failed to win any titles, which led to Ancelotti's dismissal, although Cristiano Ronaldo and other stars supported Carlo Ancelotti at the time, but failed to change the result.
In the summer of 2021, Ancelotti went around in circles and became Real Madrid's manager again, and was on the verge of being called, leading Real Madrid to win the Champions League and La Liga in his first season, but this season's results did not meet the requirements of Real Madrid president Florentino, and it is very likely to go down the old path and eventually be fired. If Carlo Ancelotti leaves, Mourinho and Zidane could take over Real Madrid, both of whom have been linked with Real Madrid in recent days, and Zidane has a better chance, after all, Florentino's chances of choosing Mourinho are not great.
