Why does he seem so calm about everything (photo by zeropundosedict)
Ancelotti is a well recognized and established football manager. I hate him if you did not know already. He might have won a lot as a player and as a manager but the main thing that stands out is that is boring. Not remarkable and when you are not remarkable, you are dispensable. In all honesty, I ll give him 1 or max 2 years at Real Madrid. After that I think Perez will run out of patience and obviously will sack him as he has sacked countless others before him.
Here are my top 3 reasons why I think that even before Perez gets to that stage, Ancelotti would sink Real Madrid:
- He sold Ozil. Not that the sale of Ozil would sink Real Madrid alone but that kind of shows Ancelotti’s temper and his carelessness. Ozil was one of the best players of Real Madrid and though he missed some sitters in many bit matches which cost Real Madrid 1 or 2 titles but I can still name you 5 other player who should have been sold before he was. The way he just told Ozil to work hard and show more obedience or else get thrown out was nothing short of just disrespectful. He allowed Kaka to leave for free? I mean, last season, we are questioning Mourinho as to why he was not starting Kaka in every game. At least he gave Kaka a chance and had no plans to sell him, instead, he used Kaka as a super sub which worked pretty well. Despite people recognizing Ancelotti as the man who would be able to handle Kaka much better, he disappointed us all by letting him leave and that too for free I might add again.
- He rudely says that everybody has to track back and work hard in defense. Reports are that Ozil could not adjust to this demand and hence got shipped. I mean, okay, in the modern game everyone has to defend but that should be done in an appropriate way. How effective do you think Ronaldo or Messi would be if they tracked back every time Real Madrid lost the ball. Barelona has showed the world the perfect system which allows everybody to help in defense yet is not exhausting and that is, you defend higher up the pitch and start pressing from the frontline. Ancelotti likes to play deep and that means attackers have to run back a certain distance before they can turn around and start defending, what people call 11 men behind the ball.
- The way he handled the Bale transfer is also nothing short of laughable. 100 million for one player who has not won anything yet and he does not say a word? That to me shows someone who is not concerned about Real Madrid but more concerned about keeping his job and playing a yes man to Perez. Bale should have been a direct replacement for Di Maria and that too in a worst case scenario. Bale is no Ronaldo. For those who think he would just pick up the ball in the middle of the pitch and will start to destroy opponents, think again. He is not of that league yet and 100 million is way too much for him. Perez must have a pretty good marketing plan if he wants to recoup the money that would be made from Bale’s media rights.
What do you guys think? Would Real Madrid been better off with Mourinho. What about Heyneckes? Was Ancelotti our best choice? HALA MADRID!!!!

To the author: It is people like you that all the years unsettle Madrid and we can't win nothing. This article is full of bullshit from someone that does not have an idea about Madrid per se and history.
First of all, you are offending the next big playmaker of Spain called Isco, whom coincidentally is Real Madrid player. Ozil did nothing in 3 games, while Isco was full of enthiasm and scored 3 goals. As soon as ozil got some competition for his place, he wanted to leave. Is this the mentality of a star? – no sir.
It is obvious that Ancellotti had no say in the transfer dealing of Ozil and Bale. You don't seem to know that the say of a manager means nothing compared to that of the president at Madrid and this has been going on for ages. Maurinho tried to change this, at the end he was shown the door.
About Bale, he is a great player with potential and so far he played with teams with little competition. Give him time and with Ronaldo, Isco and Bale and hopefully Benzema we have a powerhouse upfront. Now the problem is what happens if Isco got injured since Kaka was also left to go. And yes marketing wise, Bal;e has a lot of potential – this is what Perez seen in him.
Do not expect fantastic football after 3 games. Are Barcellona playing any nicer? Not at all. Real Madrid neighter.

You are forgetting that with an inferior team with PSG, Ancellotti did not loose against Barca last year.

100M for Gareth Bale may seem too much but if u look at Forbes, Real Madrid is the most profitable sports team in the world! They make money and spend money who cares. Its all about the market and Tottenham and Real Madrid only. Gareth Bale would have joined Real Madrid for a penny.

This is complete nonsense. First of all if you watched Real Madrid preseason in the US and the first few weeks of Laliga…you can tell Ozil is having a hard time with the tactical changes and markings Ancelotti has given. Isko and Luka Modric have been better on the field and Isko definitely have been cementing his role on the 1st team. Luka Modric performance last week was emotional and amazing! Bottom line is Luka and Isko can match Ozil skill and finishing. Isko proves to be a better finisher than Ozil. I'm not saying Ozil is good but from what I have seen on the pitch he is having a tough time. Kaka on the other hand has slowed down and the transfer market with ranking of players and appraisals are that Kaka doesn't worth as much anymore. AC Milan was the best choice for Kaka and a free transfer is awesome and respectable since they got 66 million for Ozil having only paid like 20 mil to get him a few years. Ancelotti has proved to be a superior coach. Please….stop the hate!

I for do not think he has what takes to rival barca. mourinho was the one thst brought barca down to earth, he did what no coach do, he broke their wings, mourinho's home winning record is exceptional to none, more over ancelotti is complicating things, his system is not really clicking, especially for cr7 and this continues I forsee cr7 leaving madrid questions will be asked, he will be the only coach to fail getting the best out of ronaldo, I thought he was going to build on what mournho had already put in place, it is impossible to play barca at their game and beat them. Ozil was the best man that could link up with cr7 well to produce goals and now he's gone.

you are not a Madrid fan. get a life since you do not know anything about football. all of you saying Madrid will regret selling ozil will only fall flat on your faces. Madrid will win la decimal EVEN WITHOUT ozil. he is not that great, the second best player in Madrid is Alonso.

I don't agree with you, Ozil is capable of doing anything,he just don't have faith on Ozil and he will regret letting him go.Ozil is the second Real madrid best player after Ronaldo. He will regret it.

I think you're being unfair with Ancelotti there. I bet he had nothing to do with Bale's transfer negotiations. That's all Perez's fault. As for Ozil, if he was not willing to work harder in defense, that is a lack of attitude. Di Maria, however, has shown exactly the opposite, so I think they did well in finally selling Ozil and keeping Di Maria.
