Along with Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti is the guarantee that “everywhere you touch is Gold”, wherever you go you will get the title, not Juergen Klopp, Jose Mourinho or Rafa Benitez. Especially in a team where “changing coaches is like changing shirts” like Real Madrid, Ancelotti lives comfortably and arrogantly.

This is the season when the Real Madrid squad is truly young but mischievous, experienced and baƭtle-hardened. That is the calculated investment of president Florentino Perez after the period of “injecting money” to bring in Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale… Now when the burden falls on players who have not yet passed the 27 threshold like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Guler, Fran Garcia… plus veterans like Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Carvajal, Courtois, Rudiger, Alaba have brought new life to the Royal Club. Putting this star group into Ancelotti’s “calculation”, everything sudd€nly becomes almost absolutely accurate.

Carlo Ancelotti’s talent as a coach is unquestionable. Firstly, Ancelotti deserves praise for deploying Bellingham as part of a three-man atƭack with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes. This way of arranging Bellingham to play sudd€nly had an unexp€cƭed effect when Bellingham scored 18 goals for Real in La Liga alone and he is still ranked 2nd on the top scorer list. Vinicius alone has 13 goals and Rodrygo has 12 goals. That does not include the number of assists of this trio. Obviously, they do well from being the first line of defense, scoring goals and helping their teammates get on the electronic board.

Especially how to treat vulnerable veterans like Modric and Kroos. Ancelotti has gradually eliminated Luka Modric, but still uses the Croatian legend at the right time. When necessary, they enter the field to bring new vitality with their sophistication, experience and cunning. The moment Kroos directed Vinicius to run and then kเck into the Bayern Munich net is a typical example.

The 64-year-old gentleman was also very skillful in using reserve players like Brahim Diaz or Joselu, keeping them hungry and both scored against Cadiz, on the day Madrid won La Liga. Compared to Diaz, whom Real brought in and placed hope on, Joselu is just a borrowed, backup plan for the club’s atƭack when Karim Benzema left for Saudi Arabia. The good thing is that Joselu has never pouted and felt uncomfortable even though he entered the field countless times at the end of the match. For him, playing for Real is a privilege and entering the field means having to play until the last drop of bloσd. Up to now, he has 14 goals in all competitions. Few people notice that Joselu is the Royal team’s player with the fourth most shots into the opponent’s net, behind only Jude Bellingham (22 times), Vinicius Junior (21 times) and Rodrygo (18 times). Faced with the maximum effectiveness that Joselu brings, Real has aimed to buy him outright from Espanyol. The remaining problem is what Joselu wants.

The second factor that is also surprising to fans is Real Madrid’s fighƭing spirit. We used to admire the German spirit in matches and even in penalty shootouts, they made their opponents respect or a MU was known for its “hobby” of scoring goals in extra time and in the season. In this tournament, Liverpool is the Premier League club with the most goals and points from extra time. What about Real? They have never been appreciated in that regard. But now, Real Madrid is admired for never giving up and for its confidence in big matches.

In key La Liga battles against Girona and Barcelona, ​​they both won. Ancelotti’s side knocked out Girona 3-0 in September in a show of strength and then crushed the Catalans 4- 0 in February to completely extinguish their title bid.

Against Barcelona, ​​Bellingham scored stoppage-time winners in both league matches, helping Real Madrid to a 2-1 away win in October and a 3-2 win in April at the Santiago Bernabeu . In the Champions League, they also had similar results against Man City and recently against Bayern Munich.

Perhaps many people also noticed that if Real didn’t play well that day, they would at least get a draw. It was Ancelotti who forced his students to instill the saying: “To win a tournament, the matches you cannot win, you cannot lose either.”

For Ancelotti, tactics are important but not as vital as Guardiola. As Ancelotti once emphasized management and creating a comfortable environment for stars to shine. If Ancelotti’s methods were wrong, he would never have succeeded at Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid (twice) and won countless titles (26) as well as the utmost respect of the stars .

How many people do you think can manage a dressing room with super personalities like Maldini, Nesta, Stam, Cafu, Kaka, Shevchenko; Drogba, Terry, Carvalho, Cech, Essien; Thiago Silva, Sakho, Verratti, Thiago Motta, Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi; Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, Modric, Kroos… and then they hailed him like Mr. Hoang? Remember, it’s just Ancelotti.
