Unhappy Real players send indirect messages to Ancelotti

Real Madrid is first in the Primera Division, safe in the first two rounds of the Champions League, and has won 10 out of 11 games this season. It would seem that everything is great in Madrid. However, it is not quite so. As many as four first-team players, important players in Carlo Ancelotti's machinery, used their return to their homeland due to representative duties to ‘open their souls’ and send a message to Carlo Ancelotti that they were not very satisfied with how he treated them. The most famous name among them is certainly Luka Modrić, and there are also Rodrygo, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni.

The Spanish media already wrote about the dissatisfaction of the Croatian midfielder due to reduced playing time - he only started four times this season, but before the recent duel of his national team with Turkey, the great midfielder publicly confirmed it.

"This is a new situation for me. It's true that I no longer play like before, nor as much as I would like. I always want to play, I don't want vacations. This way I feel better and I prepare better for the matches. This situation may have some advantages for the future but I want to play every three days if necessary. This is a normal, natural process and I accept it” said Modrić before the first of the two defeats of his team in the October cycle.

However, Modrić played from the first minute in Madrid's last match, against Osasuna (4:0). Unlike Rodrygo, who in the previous two games left the role of starter to Joselu. The experienced goal scorer is currently much more productive than the Brazilian, scoring five goals and assisting two, while Rodrygo is still on a goal from the first round and has one assist. The young Brazilian said from South America that the role of "nine" that Ancelotti forced him to play in the previous period did not suit him. He would rather attack from the flank.

"I have always made it clear that I have the ability to play on the wings, I simply don't like playing as a 9, although in my club I have to do it. In Brazil I have more freedom to move" stated Rodrygo.

Along with Mbappe, Camavinga and Tchouaméni will certainly be the core of the future French team, and they both get other roles in Real. In the absence of the suspended Nacho and the injured Alaba and Militao, against Osasuna, Tchouaméni had to act as a stopper. He did all the tasks brilliantly, but says that he is much more suited as the midfielder.

"I have set myself the challenge of doing well in that position, but I like playing in the middle more. I'm not going to ask for it, but if the team needs it, I'm not going to say No. I hope it doesn't last, I like playing in the center of the field more. I'm not saying I want to play central defense, but it's possible that I will do so in the future", the Frenchman told journalists in his homeland.

Eduardo Camavinga also had to be reassigned from midfield to fullback. He played along the left touchline in the derby with Girona and successfully blocked the approaches to Kepa's goal, helping the team win 3:0.

"They ask me this every day. I don't particularly like that position. I think everyone knows it. I spoke with the coach, but as always I have said the most important thing: It's the team. It was necessary to put someone in that position and, seeing that I am a team player, I have played there even though I don't like it too much. The best thing is to give everything for the club and the team" said the former Rennes footballer. Upon the return of the national team to the club, Carlo Ancelotti will probably hold a new round of talks with the mentioned players, but considering Real's results this season, it is unlikely that much will change. And constructive criticism could only contribute to making Madrid even stronger.
