Ancelotti Criticizes Real Madrid's Defense

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti criticized his team’s lack of defensive balance in their 1-1 draw with Mallorca, emphasizing the need for better collective commitment and discipline. Despite an early lead from Rodrygo, the team conceded a second-half equalizer, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Ancelotti also confirmed that Real Madrid's transfer business is finished for the summer, with no additional reinforcements planned despite recent injuries. He maintained faith in the current squad, including young players like Jacobo Ramon and Raul Asencio. Additionally, Ancelotti is expected to stick with the same lineup that won the UEFA Super Cup, transitioning from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-1-2-3 formation to optimize attacking options. The team will need to integrate new talents and manage a busy season ahead, aiming to achieve unprecedented success.
