Pedrerol Sentences Ancelotti With the Harshest Speech Yet: You Don't Win...

Josep Pedrerol Has Shown No Mercy to Carlo Ancelotti. The journalist opened El Chiringuito with a strong reflection on the Italian coach's management after Real Madrid's painful defeat at Benito Villamarín.

The white team started the match well. Brahim Díaz put them ahead in the 9th minute, but Betis reacted. Cardoso equalized with a header and, later, Isco sealed the win from the penalty spot.

But the worst was not the result, but the image. A team without soul, unmotivated, that neither ran nor fought for the balls. They gave up many spaces and allowed Isco to play at will in the three-quarter zone.

"We Won't Win on Tuesday Like This"

"We won't win on Tuesday like this." These were Ancelotti's words in a press conference. A warning that, according to Pedrerol, is evident with his decisions on the field.

"In the 75th Minute, He Takes Out the Best, Mbappé"

The host harshly criticized the substitution of Kylian Mbappé. He believes it was a mistake that could have cost the match.

"Asencio Doesn't Play Because Ancelotti Doesn't Want Him To"

Pedrerol didn't hold back. He pointed directly at the coach. According to him, Raúl Asencio's absence has no sporting justification.

"Managing Like This, You Won't Beat Anyone"

The journalist condemned Ancelotti. He believes his decision-making is harming the team.

However, not everyone on El Chiringuito shared his point of view. Edu Aguirre, present at Benito Villamarín, absolved Ancelotti of responsibility and pointed directly at the players.

"Yesterday the Players Were Walking"

Aguirre highlighted the difficulties Ancelotti is facing. “He Has Juggled to Have an Eleven. Without Militão, Alaba, Carvajal... and the defense has held up. Madrid is competing. It's a very difficult season for all coaches due to injuries, but especially for Real Madrid. Extremely difficult.”

For Aguirre, the players' attitude was key. “I think Ancelotti is fitting the pieces very well. Can he tweak two or three things? Yes, but yesterday it was a matter of the players. Yesterday the players were walking.”

The Focus on the Champions League

"It's Ancelotti's Mistake, but the Players Were Thinking About Atlético"

The journalist admitted that the coach has his share of the blame, but defended his management.

"Ancelotti has his share of the blame. I wouldn't have taken out Mbappé, but I imagine El Chiringuito today if Mbappé plays the 90 minutes and Madrid ends up losing 2-1. We would be killing Ancelotti because he didn't dare to take out Mbappé, because Endrick scored two goals.”

For Aguirre, the key was in the team's mentality. “The Difference Is That Betis Played the Match of the Year and Madrid Played the Match Before the Most Important Match of the Year. The players were thinking about Atlético de Madrid.”

Ancelotti remains in the spotlight. But, will it be the players who respond on the field?
