Perfetto, the Return of Carletto! - Benvenuto Carlo Ancelotti

Ahhh after some big losses now eyes have opened.

The games against mediocre sides like Stuttgart, Dortmund and Leipzig said enough about Carlo. 99% coaches in the world would kill to have a squad like this. The talent we have in midfield and attack is insane.

Only need to add some defenders, a coach with clear ideas, we have the quality and talent to dominate 99% of our games. And if you lose, at least you lost with dignity, not this chaotic pussy ass low block shit. Our players need to cover so much ground, once they are at the box of the opposition they are tired. We have to make the playing pitch smaller, quick ball recovery and quick to the oppositions box.

 

Talent in midfield? Maybe, but Camavinga is still not a finished product and his ceiling might not be that of Kroos or Modric, Tchouameni is in bad shape for how long now, and Valverde is a runner, not a passer. We do lack creativity there.

 

Camavinga, Bellingham, Arda, Fede, we have enough creativity, not Modric level, but because our attackers can create we don’t need that level in midfield. Not using Arda with Vini and Mbappe is criminal. You need at least one player like him in your team. But Carlo thinks he is still 15.

Tchouameni I will judge once he has a coach who tells him how to play. Looks clueless now, but has certain qualities. Everybody looks clueless.

 

this debacle makes me appreciate the 2024 UCL even more,Leipzig outplayed us in both games,City outplayed us ,Bayern could have beat us and Dormund shoudl have scored atleast 2 by halftime

we really werent that good last season either but the team was together ,this mess is galactico 2.0

 

The intensity and energy is on the coach.

You don’t want to run or press? There is the bench and i Don’t think this squad is full of spoiled brats. They seem to like each other, even outside of their work and want to fight and to work. They don’t need to be buddies, Ronaldo was only close with Marcelo and Pepe.

 

This squad didn’t peak at all, it’s far from its peak.

There is still a lot of room to grow, even for players like Vini, Rodrygo, Cama etc who won multiple CL’s. But that’s the job of the coach to keep their feet on the ground, keep them developing. You have to make your demands as a coach to the players, you can’t accept this.

But if the players disagree with the coach, which I think is the case, they will let him fall.

I don’t think 1 player in our squad believes in this we have to suffer playing style, let’s give the ball to the opposition and play a low block playing style. We aren’t Granada. We don’t want to suffer, we want entertaining, attacking football. There are coaches in their 30’s who completely dominated Carlo tactically. His ideas, his style are done. Mourinho light.

The CLs covered a lot of this. Let’s not forget Ancelotti’s love for casemiro, luka, kroos, valverde midfield. It took a 0-2 down AGG to play Cama and Rodrygo twice to turn the game around.

And even to this day, Cama isn’t even an automatic starter, most gifted midfielder we have.

 

It would be interesting to see Mbappe LW just for once, how he would perform there

 

Carlo is in a tough spot, we over performed in many ways last season with the intensity of defensive effort mixed with the counter attack. It wasn’t the best football we’ve seen but it somehow worked.

now we’re being forced to play more open by adding Mbappe and that’s not Carlos tactics. Look back at all of his success and it was always hinged on a defensive effort first.

I’m with 4x4 that the egos have taken over. Vinny is absolutely acting like a child this season, Jude is not far behind in that regard, and you have players like Modric, Fede and Tchoumeni going through the motions knowing that they will always be in the 11. Mbappe looks like a dude who is super talented that doesn’t train with the team but just shows up on match day.

Carlo giving them the freedom to take days off and do whatever isn’t the right approach right now.

The superstars aren’t cutting it. He’s has GOT to rotate some fresh energy in. The bench players come on and know that no matter what they do it’s back to the bench.

A different manager would at least shake up the hierarchy and inject a little more discipline.

we’re in a tailspin and the aren’t isn’t any way we pull out of it unless something changes. Either tactics, lineup, training intensity, voice (likely a combination of all of them)

 

This was already clear tho. Ancelotti can’t change us, he has one style and that’s it. It’s not like tomorrow we magically going to press high up, lines close to each other, running our asses of winning the ball back, quick one/two plays, triangle plays, no.

That’s not Carlo style. That’s why he needs to go. He won’t fix, because he simply can’t.

De fck I read last week? He wants to defend even more? Change the team, no change the style system. Even if you bench Mbappé and add another midfielder or defender, we are going to concede, suffer in offense.

 

when we pressed for the first 15 minutes we looked good for the most part. We then got tired and Milan started quickly breaking the line and attacking LV on the wing. Mendy like he always does kept Leao onside for one breakaway and that corner was won when they scored changed the whole match.

Thats lack of concentration on the build up to the corner and the corner itself.

we’re making so many mental errors all across the pitch it’s impossible to see how this isn’t a deeper indicator of a problem.

 

I predict this style will come sooner than later. And fans will crucify Carlo if he goes out of the UCL playing like this.

 

I agree it will never happen under Carlo and that’s why he needs to go. Flick implemented his tactics in 2 months. Carlo hasn’t done in 3 years, so he won’t now.

 

Exactly his plan B is our plan A. And what is our plan B? Our plan A is ABCDEF

 

Agree with this. Our young guys won everything early....there is a LOT of complacency in the squad at the moment...

Winning a lot can do that. Hope this snaps everyone at the club out of the honeymoon phase. Florentino as well....have fill those gaps in the squad.

Back to work.
