go ahead me admiration and respect for Carlo Ancelotti. As a coach and as a person. His record is that of the chosen ones, his successes speak for themselves, he has earned being a legend of the benches despite whoever weighs on him. Real Madrid is lucky to have chosen the best coach possible, but there is something, perhaps the only thing, that they are not knowing how to manage well…
The worst that I can
telling a coach is that he is not fair to his footballers
. It is true that time has proved Ancelotti right in everything or almost everything. He has managed to perfectly manage the egos of a Ballon d’Or team, but just
with whom he has 0 ego has been especially unfair.
His name is Nacho Fernández Iglesias, he is from Meco, he never puts on a bad face and they say that he “always complies”
-This is another of the injustices that is committed with Nacho, underestimating his performance-. He is not in the media, he is the only footballer who can become ‘one club men’, he has been trained in the Valdebebas academy since 2001 and it turns out that all this has harmed him more than benefited him.
If they had signed him from Bayern or Chelsea, he would be the undisputed starter due to his performance.
Because Ancelotti knows better than anyone that Nacho has outperformed Alaba and Rüdiger this season. Not to mention Carvajal and Mendy. Only Militao has been above Nacho on the field. But when the big games arrive, Nacho never plays… unless the others are injured. And so always, Carlos.
Nacho’s anger in silence is very graphic.
One only has to look at this Transfermarkt picture to understand his sentence: “At the beginning of the season I had a very bad time because I saw that I didn’t deserve this situation.” He barely added 50 minutes in 15 league games. Seeing is believing Carlos.
Nacho knows that whatever happens he will always be the substitute for Carvajal, Mendy, Alaba, Rüdiger… But he
He is silent and when it is his turn he shows in the field that he is ready to be a starter. He does not matter as a right, left or center back.
It doesn’t matter that he hasn’t even warmed up, that he doesn’t have a match rhythm, that he always has to dance with the ugliest (Salah, for example). Nacho always complies, they say. No, Carlo, Nacho is the one who always takes your chestnuts out of the fire…
And it is only fair that one day in a big game you should recognize that because of his performance the one who should sit on the bench would not be Nacho but Carvajal, Alaba, Rüdiger or Mendy.
But Nacho knows that this will never happen and that is why his future is up in the air. With every reason. What a pity he doesn’t end up being the next Real Madrid ‘one club men’ for being the way he is!
