Eduardo Inda Points the Finger Directly at Ancelotti for Mbappé's Penalty: 'It's His Fault'
The veteran journalist talks about what happens behind closed doors in Valdebebas
The defeat at San Mamés has brought about an important debate for Real Madrid : penalties and the order in which the best players in the squad take them. What has happened in the last three games for the white club has unleashed all kinds of criticism and opinions on the subject.
Eduardo Inda is one of the latest to address the issue with information he has shared on 'El Chiringuito de Jugones'. The director of 'OKDiario' reveals that "there's quite a bit of anger" at Real Madrid "with the issue of penalties" . The "self-management" that now prevails in these set pieces is not liked in the offices of Valdebebas.
Kylian Mbappé's penalty-kick results have led to a change in strategy by Carlo Ancelotti. Eduardo Inda says that "when you manage penalties yourself, you run the risk of what has happened in recent games." In this sense, "you don't know who is going to take the shot, who is going to stop taking the shot, and the manager doesn't give precise orders about who has to be the taker."
What happened with the penalty against Getafe , a shot that Jude Bellingham ended up saving with elegance and poise, is just one of the many examples of the "chaos" that exists. Eduardo Inda could not be clearer: "this is the coach's fault."
Big Problem
Carlo Ancelotti is once again the target of criticism after the recent defeats. The reputation of the Reggiolo-born manager is plummeting precisely because of aspects such as this. The lack of tactical and technical control in some areas, such as penalties, has left many doubts among the players most prone to taking penalties.
The absence of Vinícius Jr. , Real Madrid's number one penalty taker, has completely disrupted the order of priorities established at the start of this season. Mbappé's poor form , at the same time, would've placed him as the first to take penalties... but his recent mistakes have shifted that 'burden' onto a Jude Bellingham who is much more in tune with the competitive rhythm.
Carlo Ancelotti has already received the warning: he must take action and directly manage the order of the penalty takers. The aim of this warning sent from the offices of Valdebebas is to control the "chaos" created in recent weeks around a very important set piece.
Because it could have had a decisive influence on the last two defeats of the white entity... just as it did in the victory against Getafe . Real Madrid has lost several opportunities to improve its season from the eleven meters due to a "self-management" that has its days numbered.
