Neither Mbappe nor Ancelotti: The other player to blame for the defeat against Liverpool.
Real Madrid are currently going through a very difficult period, as the defeat against Liverpool caused significant damage that has affected the team. The club is now looking for the “culprits” who contributed to this setback.
This has not been the season that Florentino Pérez was hoping for, as the team seems to lack an effective response in the big matches. However, what is more worrying than the results is the overall feeling about the team’s performance. Against Liverpool, the team appeared to have reached its lowest point, and despite the media focus on Mbappé and Ancelotti, the responsibility does not rest solely on them.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central”, the issues surrounding Mbappé’s performance and the discussions about Ancelotti go beyond that, as the Liverpool match confirmed the deeper problems the team is facing this season.
There was a noticeable deterioration in the team’s physical fitness, and a huge speed gap was evident between Real Madrid and Liverpool, who were able to outpace them, something that the team had been successful at in the past.
In light of this situation, all eyes are once again on Antonio Pintus, the fitness coach, who has been heavily criticized for his physical preparation, which has been worse than ever this season. Pintus seems to have significant challenges ahead if he is to restore the team to its usual levels, as the club is counting on him to improve the players’ physical performance.
Florentino Pérez had expected the team to improve at this stage of the season, but the reality has been completely different from expectations. Despite the current crisis, there is a positive side to the situation: Real Madrid are still alive in all competitions, especially in the Champions League, where the team cannot afford any more failures. However, to achieve this goal, the team needs to make significant improvements in both its physical and tactical performance.
The questions everyone is now asking are: Can Antonio Pintus fix the team’s physical condition in time? And will Real Madrid be able to regain the physical strength needed to compete at the highest level? Only time will tell
