Real Madrid Confidencial Manolo Lama Speaks Out About Ancelotti After Madrid's K.O.: 'The Only One to Blame...'
The Journalist's Message That Points to Real Madrid's Coach and Another Person
Hours have passed, but the echoes of the Real Madrid – Arsenal match remain very strong. The elimination of the white team in the Champions League has left a major target. Many blame Ancelotti for the decisions they made and not being able to steer the course.
He failed with the starting line-up, was late in making substitutions, and when they came, they weren't decisive either. Many believe this KO is the definitive one that should mean his departure from Real Madrid. That next season he can't continue to be in charge of the merengue bench.
Manolo Lama has spoken about Ancelotti and his responsibility in the elimination of the white team. He surprised everyone with a phrase that seems to have a dart aimed much higher. The journalist stated that "Ancelotti is not the only one to blame" for what happened.
"You don't always win, and honors to the guy who has won more things in the Champions League, which is Ancelotti," he recalled. "Everyone is going to hit him, but let no one forget what Ancelotti has won with Madrid," he defended him. Although, as we say, they don't remove all the responsibility from him.
Manolo Lama's Message That Seems to Point to Florentino
It is clear that Ancelotti has failed in his approaches and the decisions he has made this season. Also, that stars like Mbappé, Vinícius, or Bellingham have not been at their level. But Manolo Lama's words seem a direct message to Florentino.
Among other things, because in the summer there was no reaction to the non-signing of Leny Yoro and a central defender was not brought in. But also because in the winter market, with Militao and Carvajal injured, they were not reinforced. All this without considering that no one was brought in as a substitute for Ceballos.
Decisions that were made from the board and with which Ancelotti has had to live. Now all the criticism is directed at the coach, and they demand that he not continue on the bench. But for some, the criticism has to go further and point to those who make the decisions at Real Madrid.
