REAL MADRDID: Ancelotti Must Do Something Fast

This is Carlo Ancelotti's big moment to show just how good he is, a manager who can sort out a crisis and bring back the good football and positive results. The Italian knows that right now, the four titles he has won (cup, Champions League, European Supercup and Club World Cup) count for little.

This is all water under the bridge; Ancelotti has to deal with the here and now. He knows what he has to do and he's not the type to throw in the towel. The Real manager will talk to the players and tell them what is what. It will be then up to them if they want to run for cover or muck in and sort it all out. Ancelotti will certainly be there to do his bit.


The sixty minutes that Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez spent with the players, among other things, gave the president the opportunity to see how committed the manager is to solving a situation that he openly admits is partly his fault. Pérez was quite firm in the meeting and asked Carlo Ancelotti to bring about a change of attitude in the 'Los Blancos' dressing room.

For his part, the manager declared himself convinced that his players would buck up sharpish and get back to winning ways.

The ex-PSG man knows that every week is a whole new world in football and accepts that his contract renewal could be in the bin in just seven days. In his case, this transformation has been over two months. From the iron-clad certainty of being renewed after the Club World Cup to feeling the cold winds of change down his neck after two defeats – the last one, knocking Real's blind faith in the Italian for six.
