Real Madrid are going through a troubled period after a worrying home defeat against AC Milan (1-3) in the Champions League.
This setback, which leaves the Madrid club in difficulty with only six points and a worrying 17th place in the competition, provoked strong reactions, both from coach Carlo Ancelotti and from the players. As the challenges of the season intensify, Real Madrid must find a solution to emerge from this crisis. The Madrid coach did not hide his concern after the defeat. The Italian coach attributed his team's poor results to a lack of defensive solidity, pointing out flaws in the organization and compactness of the Madrid block. “ We have conceded nine goals in three games, and that is too many for a team whose strength is based on defensive solidity “, he indicated. Ancelotti recognizes that Real Madrid are going through a crisis of confidence and calls on his players to work collectively to regain stability.
A defeat difficult to explain according to Andriy Lunin
The lack of defensive cohesion has become a recurring problem for Real Madrid, exposed in their recent outings against opponents like Barcelona and Milan. Ancelotti stresses that team morale is at an all-time low, reflecting his own state of mind: “ Morally, this is not an individual problem but a collective one. Morally, we are not well. You have to fight, get up and work. We need to focus on improving because we are not giving a good version of ourselves, and we need to get it back. »
Real Madrid's Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin also spoke after the match. Author of several decisive saves which avoided a heavier defeat, the experienced goalkeeper admitted his incomprehension at the last two defeats against Barcelona and Milan, describing these results as ” difficult to explain “. His message is clear: Real Madrid must quickly raise the bar and rediscover the aggressiveness and precision that have made its reputation. “I don’t see the team nervous. Unfortunately, in football, there are difficult moments, bad streaks. We understand that we are Real Madrid, that we must always win, without excuses,” he added.
