Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Real Madrid under control Carlo Ancelotti have a significant difference compared to the era Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane learned a lot from Ancelotti when he was an assistant coach. Both have some similarities but Ancelotti is trying to revolutionize the Los Blancos squad that Zidane has left behind.
The Italian coach used some of the players Zidane ignored last season until then shined again.
Currently, Madrid is unbeaten in four La Liga matches. Three of them won and the only draw was when they visited Levante with a score of 3-3.
The Spanish capital team also proved themselves as a team to be reckoned with in the race for the Champions League title this season after a 1-0 win over Inter Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza.
Marca launched, there are at least five striking differences between Ancelotti and Zidane referring to El Real’s appearance at the start of the 2021/2022 season.
Believe in Vinicius
Vinicius Junior was often a starter in the Zidane era but the Brazilian never fully convinced the French coach. Now, Vini appears as a different player under Ancelotti.
The Brazilian winger was pessimistic about staying in Madrid along with rumors of the arrival of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint Germain.

However, Ancelotti asked him to come earlier than the end of the season to join the team. The former Juventus coach insists Vinicius is included in his plans despite Mbappe’s certainty.
Negotiations between Madrid and PSG stalled and Mbappe failed to arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu. While Vinicius paid Ancelotti’s trust with his best performance. The motivation and way of playing Vinicius began to be seen as the world’s top star player.
Zidane is more solid defensively
In Zidane’s final season, despite failing to win the title, Real Madrid’s defense was solid. From February to May, Los Merengues have only lost once, which was a visit to Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge headquarters.

Despite being haunted by player injuries, Zidane was able to mix Madrid’s back line to remain solid and proved difficult to penetrate.
While Ancelotti prefers the approach of the game with an attacking character. It’s just that he is considered to still need to make Madrid’s fortifications tighter.
