Ancelotti's Talk that was a Turning Point for Real Madrid: If You Want...

Real Madrid's start to the season was a complete disaster due to the team's poor results in several games. At the start of the league, they tied a game that had already represented a major setback for them; since then, they haven't been leaders. However, the toughest defeat they suffered during the campaign was probably against Milan in the Champions.

After the game, Italian coach spoke to his players in a meeting where he made his thoughts clear. He also gave them some strong words in light of the club's recent results. "If you want me to be fired, you're on the right track; if you want me to stay, things have to change."

With this pseudo threat, it became quite clear that Ancelotti needed a radical change in his players' performance to avoid being fired. Something that ended up happening thanks to the performance and commitment of the players in the last few games.

The talk has been useful

While it is true that Real Madrid is not playing in splendidly, they have had a positive impact. Although this hasn't been able to prevent them from failing on some occasions, they are gradually regaining confidence.

Players like Kilian Mbappé, Vinícius Junior and Bellingham have stepped up in a big way to try and turn this situation around. In addition, the ever-reliable players in the team, like Valverde and Rüdiger, continue to perform at a splendid level. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the team's performance began to improve.

Obviously, Real Madrid are not expected to play flawlessly from now on just because of a discussion. But it is important to make the points clear from the start in order to react quickly.

Now to go back

Having the key, which is practically to give their maximum effort in every game, now the task is the most complicated. They have to turn around a situation which looks extremely complicated, more so in the Champions League than in La Liga. But being Real Madrid, it is something that is never impossible.
