Ancelotti Apologizes, He Made a Mistake with This Footballer and Admits It: 'I'm Sorry'

The coach is forced to backtrack and has acknowledged it in Valdebebas.

Real Madrid Achieved an Important Victory This Tuesday Against Manchester City at the Etihad. They not only managed to defeat them at their stadium and bring back a good result for the return leg but also it's the first major team Ancelotti's side has managed to defeat this season.

It was one of the tasks that had been eluding them, partly due to the great performance of several players. It's true that Vinícius took the MVP, but Asencio is Getting a Lot of Attention. He Managed to Frustrate Haaland even though he scored a brace, which was insufficient.

To the point that it seems Ancelotti Is Going to Backtrack on His Plans to Keep Tchouaméni as a Center-Back. When Rüdiger returns from his injury, the academy player would be his partner in defense. He is Gaining More Authority and the coach is considering making him a regular starter from now on.

To the point that, according to reports from Valdebebas, Carletto might have admitted his mistake. "I'm Very Sorry for Not Keeping You as a Regular Starter Always" he might have said to Asencio. That's what several sources indicate about the step back the coach is willing to take.

Asencio already had a trial by fire weeks ago at Anfield, where he performed well. It's true that Real Madrid lost, but he showed that a stadium like that didn't weigh on him. Last Saturday against Atlético, he again demonstrated that he doesn't get nervous.

But it was on Tuesday, against City, where he finally made it clear that he is a center-back of great quality. He had to face one of the best forwards in the world and didn't back down at any moment. He even confronted him after a persistent hold by the Norwegian.

Asencio Has Already Captivated Madrid Fans Who Keep Chanting His Name at Bernabéu. It seems that Ancelotti is on the same path with his plans for the upcoming matches. The academy player should be a starter alongside Rüdiger as soon as the German recovers.
