Real Madrid has gotten off to a nearly perfect start to the new season, having won five of their first six matches in La Liga.
Los Blancos have gone through many transitional phases over the course of the past two months, even though the club has continued to perform well. This has occurred despite the fact that the club has gone through many transformational stages.
Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to rely heavily on younger midfielders rather than older guards like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos is one of the most noticeable changes that has occurred as a result of the recent coaching shift.
The pairing of Kroos and Modric is no longer appealing to Perez.
The pairing of Kroos and Modric is reportedly no longer to the satisfaction of Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, according to a report from The Athletic.
This news comes not long after Carlo Ancelotti made headlines by taking a risk by starting two experienced players in the middle of the field for the first time this season during the weekend match against Atletico Madrid.
The two were unable to make much of an impact, and as a result, Real Madrid suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of their rivals from the same city.
The majority of the criticism was directed toward Ancelotti, and the Italian did accept complete responsibility for the loss. But the fact that Modric and Kroos haven’t played up to their potential, in addition to Perez’s criticism of their pairing, ought to serve as a cautionary note for both players.
