Carlo Ancelotti, who was fired in his first stage of the Real Madrid for his “soft hand” with the costumes, his iron fist is shown in this second adventure in the White House. Up to the point of turning the white bench in the most expensive in the world.
The picture of Bale, Hazard and Jovic on the bench has not liked in the offices of the club. Florentino Pérez paid for them €271 million, according to the official version. Carletto has had good words for the three, but he doesn’t count on them. To the point of twisting his face when a journalist insisted on the substitution of the three. “Why do you talk about Bale, Hazard and Jovic? Why don’t you talk about Ceballos, about Carvajal? ”, the coach questioned the journalist with a serious face.
“Lazy and selfish”
Ancelotti revealed to the German newspaper ‘Die Weit’ after his departure from Real Madrid what he does not tolerate in footballers: “I don’t get angry when a player makes a mistake. We are all human and I know what it is because I was a footballer too. I’m not one to throw fights, I like dialogue. What bothers me is that they have no attitude, that they are lazy or selfish”.
De Hazard (15 games, 831 minutes and one goal) even said: “Eden is back”. But Carletto has grown tired of giving him opportunities and his indolence in training. The “vaguería” of the Belgian, which is witnessed by the entire squad on a day-to-day basis, has condemned him. Bale’s case (3 games and 193 minutes, all in August) is unique. The Italian hoped to resuscitate him, but after recovering from an injury, and not yet having entered a Madrid call-up, he left for Wales and came back broken. So Ancelotti, Tired of Bale’s “selfishness”, he put the cross on him. For his part, Jovic has spent three seasons at Madrid, minus six months he played on loan at Eintracht, and has three goals. In the current one he has played 432 minutes in 15 games, but his coldness distanced him from the hard core of the locker room.
The coach’s intransigence has become a problem for Florentino, because Hazard and Jovic have contracts until 2024 and 2025, respectively. Madrid needs them to play to put them in the showcase. The plan is to invest the record of Bale and Hazard (31.9 million gross per year and 22.9) in that of Kylian Mbappé, with whom he has closed an agreement for 50 million gross per year. The image of the most expensive bench in the world bothers the club, but Ancelotti is clear that he will bet on his hard core, of 15 players, to move forward with the season. And there is no room for “lazy or selfish”
