The 55-year-old ex-footballer made a diagnosis in the show “El Larguero” of the situation that Real Madrid is currently going through.
Pedja Mijatovic, Real Madrid player from 1996 to 1999 and director of football of the same club from 2006 to 2009, was very harsh in his analysis of the match after the 1-3 defeat against Milan in the Champions League, and also saddened. For him, it will be difficult to find solutions to emerge from the crisis.
“A bit of everything is happening to Real Madrid? The feeling I have is that the team has slipped out of Ancelotti's hands,” explained the Podgorica native. “Tonight, Real Madrid made me sad,” he continued, saddened by what he had just seen.
Mijatovic did not hesitate to criticize Ancelotti's choices: “With the changes he has made, it's almost as if he doesn't know where to take the team or what reaction they should have to try, at least less, to return to the score….. Carlo made these changes thinking that it was going to improve but these changes were not very wise.
The former Real and Valencia player points to relaxation and a possible lack of ambition as the cause of the Merengues' misfortunes: “After two or three splendid seasons, with everything they have won, the team is relaxing a little. It’s clear.”
No solutions
“What solutions can we find to all this? For the moment, there are very few, really. I don't know if Ancelotti will have the capacity to react. I don't know if he has the capacity to reverse everything this situation and motivate his players”, continues the Montenegrin.
Regarding the situation in the locker room, he guesses that there must be “a lot of players who are not happy. They are playing less than they thought…”, undoubtedly referring to Güler or even Endrick, who the two of them have only combined 12 minutes played in the last 5 matches.
“It's a situation that really concerns me. Ancelotti can't take them between two eyes and say 'you have to do what I say'. He listens to too many opinions (editor's note: within his staff). He no longer has the posture he had in recent years,” Mijatovic concluded.
