Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti vs. Simeone, They Reveal the Difference Between Them: 'Similar, but...'
Before the Derby, They Point Out What Differentiates the Coaches of Both Teams, and There's a Surprise
This Wednesday not only will the teams advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals be known. A European classic full of excitement will be decided, as both teams arrive very evenly matched. The same goes for their coaches, a face-off between Ancelotti and Simeone that generates a lot of expectation.
Many have sought to compare both coaches as they see similarities. However, journalist Rubén Martín has pointed out what the main difference between them is. During the big match on the COPE network, he gave his opinion on the matter.
"They are similar in that for both, the first thing to win titles is a clean sheet" he began by saying. However, it seems he finds many more differences between the two coaches. "Ancelotti wants the ball and Simeone doesn't care" he continued analyzing.
Furthermore, regarding the classic, he noted that "Ancelotti is capable of bringing together Tchouaméni and Brahim". On the contrary, "it seems unthinkable to me that Atlético would play with a midfield that doesn't know how to control the game". He believes these are the most significant differences between the two coaches.
A Close Match with a Slight Advantage for Real Madrid
It is very difficult to make predictions about what will happen this Wednesday in the European classic. Although Real Madrid has a favorable result from the first leg after winning 2 to 1. The great goals by Rodrygo and Brahim make the tie currently tilted in their favor.
This will be the fourth time both teams face each other this season. Simeone has been unable to defeat Ancelotti in any of the previous 3 matches that have been played. In the league, they drew at the Bernabéu and at the Metropolitano, and in the Champions League, Madrid won.
Therefore, they will have to turn that statistic around if they at least want to force extra time. Real Madrid knows this, but Ancelotti doesn't want any relaxation despite being ahead. Any detail can be crucial, and they must approach the match as if everything is still even to avoid a scare.
