Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti recently faced questions about his job security following a disappointing run of results for the club. Ancelotti, who guided Madrid to a 5-2 defeat against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, acknowledged the pressure he is under but chose not to speculate on what would have happened had he overseen a similar slump in form to Barcelona’s under Hansi Flick.
Both Madrid and Barcelona have been struggling in La Liga, with Barcelona only managing to secure six points out of the last 24 available. Despite the challenges, Ancelotti remains focused on improving the team’s performance and addressing the concerns of the fans.
Following a 1-1 draw with Getafe, Barcelona now sits four points behind Madrid in the league standings. Ancelotti, a five-time Champions League winner, understands the expectations and criticisms that come with managing a top club like Real Madrid.
When asked about his response to a similar run of results as Barcelona’s, Ancelotti chose not to provide a direct answer, emphasizing the need to focus on improving the team’s performance instead.
Acknowledging the fans’ frustrations, Ancelotti expressed his commitment to continuous improvement and learning as a coach. He accepted responsibility for the defeat against Barcelona and the criticism from supporters, while remaining optimistic about Madrid’s future performance.
Despite the recent challenges, Ancelotti remains focused on guiding Real Madrid to success and believes that the team’s fighting spirit will lead them to better results in the future.
