Recently corrected by Barça and pushed back six lengths behind its Catalan rival in the La Liga standings, Real Madrid is going through a complicated period which does not please its boss Florentino Pérez at all.
A correction inflicted by the sworn enemy. A Golden Ball flew away to everyone’s surprise. Stars still in training or even in great difficulty. In full doubt, and faced with the growing discontent of its members, Real Madrid would have liked to relaunch this weekend in the championship. But his trip to Valencia was canceled due to the terrible floods which ravaged the south-east of Spain, and we will therefore have to wait until the reception of AC Milan on Tuesday in the Champions League, to see the Merengues take their heads out of the water or continue to sink.
Disappointed by Tchouaméni
In the meantime, anger is starting to rise on Florentino Pérez’s side. Already cheered up by the defeat at Lille (1-0) on October 2 in C1, then by the first half at home against Dortmund twenty days later (led 2-0, Madrid finally won 5-2), the boss of Real would have had a hard time with the beating suffered on home soil against Barça, in the Clasico (4-0), last Saturday. According to the media Relevo, Pérez would be extremely “concerned” by the level of play displayed by his team since the start of the season.
In his eyes, the signing this summer of Kylian Mbappé, and his association with Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo, should have quickly brought a qualitative leap. Beyond personal cases, his annoyance is directed towards the lack of intensity of his training, which for example ran 11 kilometers less than Losc when he came to Pierre-Mauroy… It is again this lack of combativeness which made him fume at halftime of the match against Dortmund.
Are Real harming football with the Golden Ball? – 29/10
For him, two points must be corrected: the defensive sector which has a series of poor performances and the positioning of Bellingham, today very far from its best level. Also disappointed by the performance of Aurélien Tchouaméni, who could be pushed towards the exit, Pérez believes that Arda Güler deserves to gain playing time. Like Endrick, who has not moved from the bench during the last three matches of the Real. Enough to add a little more pressure on Carlo Ancelotti’s shoulders as he prepares for the clash against AC Milan.
