Reports from Spain suggest that Carlo Ancelotti is facing challenges motivating his Real Madrid squad, with claims that the dressing room is starting to distance itself from the Italian manager.
Real Madrid Dressing Room Drifting from Ancelotti Amid Struggles
Despite an undefeated run in La Liga, Real Madrid’s performances have been far from convincing, and their first loss in 36 matches, a 3-1 defeat to Lille in the Champions League, has only amplified concerns.
Ancelotti, known for his calm demeanor, has reportedly been more restless this season.
Spanish outlet SPORT claims that his squad message is losing its impact on the players, who seem to be focusing more on individual performances than working cohesively as a team.
The departure of key figures like Toni Kroos, who retired in the summer, has also left a leadership void.
Luka Modric, despite his years of experience, has been frustrated with limited game time.
Injuries to critical players, including Aurelien Tchouameni and Dani Carvajal, have forced Ancelotti to experiment with positions, further complicating team dynamics.
Jude Bellingham, last season’s standout performer, has struggled to replicate his form, while Kylian Mbappe, despite scoring regularly, is still adapting to his new teammates.
As pressure builds, Ancelotti faces a crucial period where he must reconnect with his squad to prevent further unrest and maintain Real Madrid’s dominant status in Spanish football.
