“He has been unable to find the balance and will end the season without achieving it”

He Real Madrid He said goodbye to the UEFA Champions League in the quarterfinals after losing in the Santiago Bernabéu before a Arsenal which knew how to resist pressure and hit the precise moment. The London team 1-2 was imposed in the second legdemonstrating its tactical superiority along the tie and leaving the white set full of doubts to be resolved.

Nacho Peña I explain how of Real Madrid Before Arsenal exposed one of the great shortcomings of this team: the lack of a plan. “42 balls were hung to the area and only six positive actions were taken, ”said one of the analysts, a devastating fact. That insistence on the side center in front of a rival like the Arsenalexpert to defend such plays even without Gabrielreflects a worrying lack of study of the opponent.

The plan of Madrid It seemed to happen things. As I said Albert Fernández “Ask for a plan to a team that has not had a plan throughout the season is difficult.” The cracks has been pointed out, Vinicius and Mbappébut for these shining, they need the ball to reach them in conditions. “It’s the Messi of Christian They could do miracles if they received the ball in the center of the field and without aid. ”

The most recurring criticism was for Ancelotti. “From the first day he acknowledged that he was not able to find the balance and will end the season without finding it,” said Nacho Peña.

According to Whipthe Italian coach, who transformed Bellingham In a “Chupagoles”, He has not tried a minute as a midfielder, his original position in the Dortmund. Many consider that in the midst of so many casualties, that option must have explored.

Nacho Peña exposed these data that take the colors to the white team: “Madrid ran almost 10 kilometers less than arsenal, At home, with the Bernabéu Tightening and having rested three headlines in the first leg. “The explanation for many is the lack of custom.” Arsenal defends in block, accompanied, and that is trained. Madrid, since Ancelotti returned, It is a lazy team to embarrass “. There were even jokes about players who “resume because they are cold in the field.”

As Peña said, there is already talk of the relay. “If the chosen one is Xabi Alonsowho ends his season on May 14, he could take the team in recent days or at least direct it in the Club World Cup “. That tournament, irrelevant for many, “is not for the club”, and could serve for Xabi to know the squad.

Marcos Bernat He launched the question: does Carletto deserve to end the season? For many yes. Mayor was clear: “For the respect I have, to end. I would hurt to see him leave the back dooralthough I recognize that the cycle is finished. ”The figure of Ancelotti could be maintained in other functions. “Put it to the side on the bench, with the pure, as a advisor. But no longer as a coach.”
