Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his concerns after his team’s lackluster performance in a 1-1 draw against Las Palmas, leaving them trailing four points behind LaLiga leaders Barcelona. The Italian coach emphasized the need for a quick improvement as Madrid failed to secure a win for the second time in three league games.
Despite the presence of star forward Kylian Mbappé, who took nine shots during the match, Madrid struggled to find the back of the net consistently. Ancelotti acknowledged the team’s difficulties in breaking down the opposition defense and highlighted the lack of balance and quick ball movement as key issues.
Ancelotti, who led Madrid to victory in the UEFA Super Cup at the start of the season, expressed his frustration with the team’s inability to replicate their previous success. He emphasized the importance of clarity in tactics and the need for a more organized and cohesive approach on the field.
The coach made several changes to the starting lineup in an attempt to address the team’s shortcomings but admitted that the desired improvements were not evident during the match against Las Palmas. Ancelotti raised concerns about the team’s lack of agility and compactness, calling for a collective effort to find effective solutions.
Overall, Real Madrid’s performance against Las Palmas highlighted the challenges they face in the LaLiga title race. With tough fixtures ahead, including a clash with Real Betis and a trip to Real Sociedad, Ancelotti and his players will need to regroup quickly and address their issues to remain competitive at the top of the table.
