Edu Aguirre announces the big change Ancelotti plans at Real Madrid

The passage of time makes it easier for Real Madrid to leave behind the shock of losing the Spanish Super Cup against FC Barcelona in Saudi Arabia. The thrashing suffered by Carlo Ancelotti's players leaves the Reggiolo coach very much in the spotlight.

That's why it might be time to make changes in his starting eleven and tactics. The Italian coach is rethinking how to balance the team just when he seemed to have achieved some stability by fielding a particular 1-4-3-3 with up to four forwards.

Complicated Moment

Real Madrid's defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final has left many debates open within the white entity. Some point to Carlo Ancelotti's continuity, while others highlight some players that the Reggiolo coach insists on placing in his starting eleven in every match played.

Changes are coming according to the information revealed in the last few hours by Edu Aguirre. The journalist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones" talks about the first reactions Real Madrid has regarding their defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final: concern.

According to the panelist and journalist, "Ancelotti is very worried, very surprised because he didn't expect such a tough defeat. He had found his system for many matches but now has doubts again, Ancelotti has doubts about fielding four forwards". According to Edu Aguirre, the Reggiolo coach might not be so sure that "bringing together Bellingham, Vinícius, Mbappé, and Rodrygo" is the path to competitive success this season.

"From now on, when there's a 'big' match, a tough opponent, we'll see what decision Carlo Ancelotti makes because doubts are starting about how to face 'big' matches. Because it's clear it doesn't work and that the four forwards are good for LaLiga, for matches of not so much magnitude, but four forwards don't work". The determination of the Reggiolo coach is very clear, and these days would be the key to changing everything.

Brainstorming

Besides pointing out that "he has doubts", Edu Aguirre confirms that the Italian strategist "is affected". Despite everything, the journalist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones" reveals that "Ancelotti has many lives, he knows it". The accumulated experience of the Reggiolo coach as a manager could be useful to turn around a situation that has become more entrenched than it seemed possible.

The use of the 1-4-3-3 doesn't seem to have delivered the overwhelming successes it promised when the transalpine coach decided to resume it. The return of Rodrygo Goes to the starting eleven hasn't left good impressions and everything points to the '11' verdeamarelo being one of the first to return to the bench.

The system change that Edu Aguirre suggests could mean that the Reggiolo coach not only discards Rodrygo Goes. Returning to trust in the 1-4-4-2 that yielded such good results last season, the merengue coach would place Fede Valverde as the definitive right-back. There are also unsolved doubts about Aurélien Tchouaméni: his poor performance both as a central defender and as a pivot leaves him highlighted for Madrid fans.

In any case, Carlo Ancelotti must hurry in creating and implementing these tactical changes. There are only two days left for Real Madrid to host Celta de Vigo at Santiago Bernabéu. The Copa del Rey round of 16 match is seen as key for the club's competitive aspirations this season, but also for the continuity of the coach himself.
