Manu Carreño, director of El Larguero, announces a storm at Bernabéu. He implies that the divorce between Carlo Ancelotti and his players is a fact.
"They Don't Follow Him", said the director of El Larguero, seeking an explanation for the Fly Emirates shipwreck.
Carreño highlights Ancelotti's phrase on the eve of the match. He implied that the only thing that worries him is that the president of Real Madrid is calm and happy with his work.
"The Players Aren't With Their Coach"
It is possible that Ancelotti has the blessing of his president, but it seems clear that there is no harmony this season with the squad. The play and results of the LaLiga and Champions League champion suggest so.
Manu Carreño reminded Ancelotti of the phrase last night on El Larguero: "I don't know if the one in charge is calm, but the one who should be more uneasy is Ancelotti. Because of Madrid's terrible image in London and everything that is being caused around his figure."
Carreño concludes that "the players don't give the impression that they are with the coach."
He denounces that "we have seen an almost invisible match from Vinicius, Mbappé, Rodrygo... It's not one bad player, it's a team unplugged, disconnected from the Champions League quarter-finals, from their competition."
Carreño concludes: "A lot of epic will be needed for the return match. It wouldn't be the first time that Real Madrid turns around a match like this.
"Ancelotti's Speech Doesn't Reach the Footballers"
But it seems that much more epic than usual will be needed. Courtois has been the best of the match by far, saving a result that could have been scandalous. If 3-0 is painful, it could have been scandalous."
He concludes: "We will see what the response of the footballers will be because this is far from a Champions champion."
In El Larguero, they recalled Ancelotti's explanations in London: "We haven't worked as a block, as a team... something is wrong, says Ancelotti. I don't know if a change of script is needed, but the indolence and attitude of some players today isn't Ancelotti's fault.
Tonight shows that many things are missing. I'm not saying they don't believe, but Ancelotti's speech doesn't reach the footballers."
