Perfetto, the Return of Carletto! - Benvenuto Carlo Ancelotti

Since the miracle CL run of 21/22 our football strategy was vibes, remontada, Santiago Bernabeau Voodoo, individual moments of heroism.

Fun as hell to watch and come out winners, but it’s really not sustainable. Amazing we were able to get 2 CLs and a Liga.

 

Truly repulsive.

Love ya Don Carletto. We will surely miss this guy and remember everything fondly. What a legend. We got to live through it, and it was a privilege as a fan.

 

I guess it was a tactical masterclass that won our CL in 21/22?

Seriously, I think you need to go back and re watch some of those matches.

Kroos and Modric were absolutely dogshit. Until we threw Camavinga and Rodrygo on and chaos football insued, we looked completely toothless.

 

We dominated the last La Liga season, but claiming we won the last two UCL titles through anything other than heroism is simply foolish. Sorry, Positive Pussies.

 

Klopp for Slot.

Xavi for Flick.

Two managerial changes last summer and they took the nearly same exact team to glory this season.

I don't see why so many are doubtful that Xabi Alonso can be as successful when Ancelotti leaves.

 

It really was, almost as if some people didn't watcht the games. Who could forget Carlo coming up with that scheme where Fed played as a RF in attack and a RM in defense. That season was also alot about Carlo getting the young guns Vini, Fed, Rodrygo, Camavinga and Militao, etc., to make/take the next step up in their careers, step up to the challenge of becoming bonafide champions.

It's obvious that managers should be fired everyone season and new one's hired everyseason. That way you avoid "the problem" altogther, whatever they are, because a new manager always solves them.

 

knew you’d bring up Leverkusen, so I’m going to ask - did Bayer have the same quality in players as Real Madrid? I mean, a club that was near relegation and had never won anything is on the same level at RM?? right?

it makes sense for a club like Bayer who’s punching above their weight to do tactics like that to win.

For the quality of players we have, if we didn’t have the depth to do that marathon run you are saying. Why the hell did we defend so deep and then roll the dice with the kitchen sink offense? Seems like we should have been going to the roulette table with the streak of luck we were on.

 

So you answered your own question. If our style is based on outlasting teams and we can't refresh the team in the summer, AND the coach is not capable of changing the style of the team (tactics is simply not Carlo's forte), why are you so troubled by the idea of bringing in someone who can do that, and with the change itself increase the odds that we will refresh the team (by bringing in new faces)?

 

This has been crystal clear for 3 seasons even when the seniors did the heavy lifting, Vini was the best player in the world and Tibo went into god mode. The symptoms have always been there.

Yes, because that's what Real Madrid have been doing every season right? Get over yourself dude. Carlo lost the plot IN ADDITION to not getting any help. Carlo did himself no favors. I'm not gonna get into it because it has already been discussed here to death. Accept it and move on.

 

IF there were "complaints from the dressing room" and "players were amazed at the lack work" it has to a be a new player who is unfamiliar with the Ancelotti approach and it has to be a player with enough credibility and career stability to criticize a GOAT manager and survive the backlash.

It has to be Mbappe. He probably sees Brazil and Vinicius as his main obstacles to winning the next WC and BdO, but by undermining Carlo he begins the psychological warfare and undoes some of the tremendous progress Vini and Carlo made while working together.

Absolutely disgusting.

 

Lol this is some next level mental gymnastics to blame Mbappe

 

Booked your trip to Thailand already? HAHAHAHA

 

Some people are now trying to pretend that us losing matches until the 80 something minute in the UCL was part of some tactical plan?

 

The new leaks are probably from the club to offset criticism. Pretty corny to do so now.

Anyone with eyes can see the team was unprepared.

I don't care what anyone says, those rumors Bayern were organizing their own practices have some truth to them.

 

Who's Xabi?

 

LMFAO..you're a lost cause..too bad staff can't be put on the ignore list..

 

It's probably Tibu
