Ancelotti’s wobbling Madrid face stern Athletic test

Real Madrid’s Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti looks on during the Spain’s Copa del Rey , round of 16 football match between Villarreal CF and Real Madrid CF at La Ceramica stadium in Vila-Real, near Valencia, on January 19, 2023. AFPPIX: Carlo Ancelotti is hoping Real Madrid's post-World Cup slump is over ahead of the clash with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in La Liga.

“We have conceded six goals and five of them could have been avoided with a little more defensive caution,“ Ancelotti told reporters on Wednesday, before the Villarreal cup clash. Madrid have been hamstrung recently by David Alaba and Aurelien Tchouameni's injuries, meaning Toni Kroos has been forced to play as the deepest midfielder.

“I think this is the beginning of a new era. The players who have defined an era at this club are coming to the end of their careers, but there are others coming in.”
