5 Tactical Adjustments Ancelotti Made to Revive Real Madrid

- Just a few months ago, Real Madrid found themselves nine points behind Barcelona in La Liga, struggling to secure points against teams like Atletico Madrid, Las Palmas, Mallorca, and Barcelona. The squad looked disjointed on both ends of the pitch, raising concerns about their competitiveness. Fast forward to today, and Los Blancos are back in top form, showing remarkable improvements in chance creation and overall cohesion.
In this video, I break down 5 key tactical adjustments Carlo Ancelotti has made to bring Real Madrid back to a competitive level:
1️⃣ Kylian Mbappé's Positioning: Moving Mbappé to a more comfortable role on the left has unleashed his full potential, as he thrives in transitions and simplifies his game.
2️⃣ A Vertical Transition System: Ancelotti has shifted the focus to quick, direct attacks, utilizing the speed of Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Vinícius Jr.
3️⃣ Dani Ceballos’ Impact: Ceballos’ precise passing and ball progression from deep have been crucial in implementing this system, filling the void left by Toni Kroos.
4️⃣ Jude Bellingham’s New Role: Bellingham's physical presence in the final third has added another dimension to Madrid’s attack.
5️⃣ Disciplined Fullbacks: A more cautious approach from the fullbacks has reduced vulnerabilities in transitions, ensuring defensive stability.
These adjustments have not only improved the team's overall performance but have also brought Real Madrid back into the La Liga title race. Watch the full breakdown to see how these changes have transformed the team tactically!

Got a sunburn 😂
Don't worry bro, We call it a Tan 😂 Gives you a shine
Ouch.. you'll be alright 😂👍🏼
Come to germany this can not happen here, we have rain for 3 month ;)
Thanks for the analysis.. But l have a question for you, do you think Ancelotti would keep playing Raul at right back??
I have a feeling that no he would not, because he has a lack of trust for young players...
So unfortunately, we may see Vasquez at right back in the next classico.
You left Madrid with a mark 😂😂😂 hala Madrid I love you ❤👋👋👋
Dani Ceballos is now one of the best LaLiga midfielders
-Biggest builld up xG
-Most defensive actions by percentage of ball possesion
He is not Kroos of course, but he is now in peak of his career and its great to have him
I believe 95 percent pass accuracy. He is one of the solid players for midfield.
Tactic 1-5: Stopped playing Vasquez, I swear if we had a stronger defense vs Liverpool, Barca we would have a way bigger chance of winning
Never imagine ceballos would've been Kross replacement when we bought Cama n Touch to replace modric n Cas
trust me never in a million years
@ISNNETWORK he's doing it bro playing world class pass
He was good at arsenal. This season he is op.
Dani Ceballos' inclusion in the team is the biggest reason why we see these recent performances. He has become the surprise source of pausa in the midfield, maybe not as perfect as Kroos and Modric but somebody who gets the job done. Him playing on the left hand of the double pivot and these recent performances are a match made in heaven. He has all things that our other central midfielders don't have/sth is missing in them: Pausa, dictating the tempo, progressive passing and giving balance. For context: Camavinga and Tchouameni don't offer that progressive passing and Fede Valverde who has all the qualities and has proven himself how good his DLP version is for Uruguay in last year's Copa America can't be shifted to the left hand because there will be nobody in the team that can provide the recovery pace and workrate on the right which is very important as our RB is the main source of width on the right, thus we need somebody to provide coverage during transitions. So, Ceballos is suited best at the left where he uses his dribbling and penetrative passing effectively. Speaking about Dani, he's looks more of a Modric type of player than Kroos relying more on taking on his markers and short and line breaking penetrative passes rather than relying more on long balls. Nonetheless, he provides control and the balance that we all needed ever since Toni retired. And Mbappe and Jude, I've no words how good both are and the type of players they're evolving into its terrifying. Last game, we saw Mbappe continuously dropping deeper which initially I didn't like especially when sth similar costed us the game vs Milan but post game I got the idea as he was trying to drag defenders which open up spaces ultimately leading to the first goal. I see more intent from him when it comes to pressing and I feel like Carlo is trying to convert us to an all over pressing team especially with us likely signing Trent and if this momentum continues, I won't be surprised. Raul Asencio, we all know that kid is generational as a CB but I see high promise w/him being a RB as well, he has all the qualities for a fullback in pace, press resistance and on the ball attributes. He did got dribbled past couple of times in these few games but I believe its a matter of time before he adapts as well and gets better with off the ball attributes like positioning and awareness. Big advantage is him being young which makes it easier to mould him p.s. these Castilla kids would do anything for the badge. I hope we don't sign a CB and a DLP this summer, it will be injustice to these Castilla kids like Asencio, Ramon and Joan Martinez and particularly to Ceballos who is finally reaping the rewards of years of patience. My only concern is that if we can continue these performances especially with the game vs Atletico coming soon. Till then, I'm very happy with our recent games. Hala Madrid🤍. And my brother really stayed a lot in sunny Madrid😂😂, sth which caused hyper-pigmentation in Jude's skin as well. Can you be more consistent with these uploads plz, its a request🙇🙇
Whatever happens l don't wanna see Raul ascensio get Bench he's generation CB talent.
thx love the content Ancelotti will find solutions hopefully like 2022 and 2024 ;)
You earned a new subscriber brother, keep up the good work. Love from India. Hala Madrid 🤍
Great video and great analysis. You earned yourself a new subscriber. Looking forward to see more tactical videos from you
Bro we lost almost every match against big teams, especially Barca this month, just because we win against trash teams doesn’t mean he revived our team
@@a.k27 true! That’s why I said that in the end. What I tried to specify that the process has improved. If you remember we were looking awful even against the weaker sides earlier in the season.
I was looking for this comment
@@BernabéuHQbro we still struggled for the first 30 minutes against Rayo... Let's not get too excited
I'll know if we are back after atletico Madrid
Nah the only reason we lost to Barca was cuz of Vazquez and Tchouameni being in our defende
Great work bro ❤
Thank you, my friend!
Vini should learn how to track back, Mbappe as the CF should press more! Jude Bellingham should focus more on his box to box role.
Rudiger needs rest . Tchouameni should be played more in the midfield.
My still biggest issues are:
1. The right back position and after X amount of games, better start someone from Castilla, Valverde or Asencio thab Vasquez. Because that our weak side against teams.
2. Not using the younger player or the full depth fron our Bench.
Fix these issues , our defense and our build up play, i‘m very confident against any team in europe.
I’m with you. I can’t disagree with anything you said. The right back position is an issue. It also comes down to the board giving him someone. If we make it to the champions league final, I don’t trust Lucas at RB. The youngsters will never develop under Carlo
The change of the team came not only adjustment but also Rotation and the quality of the Substitutions on the bench
Great job mate❤
Tbh there isn't that much of improvement. Don't let the goals trick you when they play against big clubs or organised clubs they are exposed.
@@Florontino-Perez when you compare our opening game against Mallorca vs the last few games you can see a difference. There is an improvement. I agree there’s a lot of Carlo needs to do to prove he’s found a viable solution, but I’m seeing positive signs
I can't wait to see a game in Santiago. Hala Madrid ❤
I'll only be satisfied with current rma tactics if we can humiliate barca in case we meet in cdr. Ik this sounds a bit cheap but the real test of our plan will be against them. Till then i hope we maintain the gap in laliga table
Lowkey see us beating them 3-0 for the rest of the year.
After Barca's match , we played
Celta Vigo (dragged past them)
Las Palmas (16th in table)
Salzburg (34th in table )
Real Valladolid (20th in La liga table)
Please don't judge our recent run of form on the basis of results. An eye test clearly shows that we are having the same issues .the only shining light is Mbappe's form
True, we are so cooked in big matches. I'd return my belief that we can we some trophies this year if we beat Atletico in February
Love from The Gambia 🇬🇲
@@ebrimalowe5040 much love to Gambia, my friend! Hala Madrid!
I’ll never forgive Kroos for robbing us of 1 season with this front 3. Seeing Ceballos unleash this team makes me salivate at the thought of Kroos.
Asencio is not a RB … as good as he is at CB he may be vulnerable there but let’s see his development because Carlo is not going to give the castilla RB a chance ahead of Asencio
8:02 Raul or Valverde at RB is great and the games we lost to Barca was because of how poor Vasquez was
Finally Carlo is using tactics I’ve always criticized him for being weak on the tactical side of things but when you have a team full of these world class players you don’t need much you just need small adjustments which I’ve been asking for and he’s finally making
He’s underrated as a tactical manager, but the issue is that he doesn’t focus on too much structure in possession. He focuses more on organization out of possession…that’s why we look so bad sometimes
Y’all forgetting Valverde
He is the reason for the interception and counter goals
Ceballos the game chnager 🔥
Anceloti despite being an experience coach,he Lacks technical ability due to his old age, Barca has beaten real three times this season, and Carlo knows that the selection has always been awful and also allowed players playing thrash to continue the game. All the defeats by Barca was due to Madrid defensive blunders,not to forget how wasteful our forwards have been,if Rodrigo had converted the opportunity he had after mbape goal it would have been worse for Barca. Jude ghosted in two consecutive classico. This Barca team is not spectacular but our awful performance made them look that way. Last season Manchester city were far better than this current Barca but yet they couldn't defeat real Madrid. Anceloti just made me hate for his tactical blinders
Barca is 7 points behind us. And Ancelotti is the best coach in the history of Real Madrid. No matter what you are thinking it is without any meaning.
@@definition3300 let just trust our manager guys u can see big improvement from december till now,look the statistics look the standing in the table,,Ancelotti is our all time great manager he has brocken all the previous managers records,,and he always help players to win Golden ball,so trust him,,me i see a team that will destroy teams in La Liga and even in Europe,,and i hope for him stay more years to come in the club,,i know we want immdiate result but we are on the right track trust me
I really see a treble coming our way if Ceballos continues to start in important games.
Great video go❤❤
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Dear dear, hold on, give us great game against Top, Top teams. Surely you can't be this direct with Top teams you need perform against 😅
Carlo has tactics??
I must watch this
Carlo has been calling for more verticality and directness all season… Mbappe also started on the left more at the start of the season the Carlo adjusted him to the center and now back to left.
This just goes to show that Carlo was right and you gotta trust the process it’s also on the players to execute
We are in decent from
But if we lose againt atleti at home
we Will be back to Square 1.
but after watching your video makes me feel like we will take care of them easily.
I do not believe that we lose again at home and espicially not against Atletico, that would be a disaster...Hala Madrid
@@joachimluft4501they can take a point from us they usually peform against us i hate them
@@joachimluft4501 Atletico is Ancelotti’s bogey team remember 14/15 season? i can never trust Ancelotti againt Atm.
Ceballos❌
Kroos replacement potential✅
One day you’re gonna get so big that TH-cam is gonna get you for copyright. Can’t wait. Keep up the good shit
Ceballos isn’t getting credit for slowing down the mid field. Notice the moments he does, the front looks frustrated they didn’t get a quick pass. Kroos would slow the play, ceballos is doing that.
Unspoken/ unrecognised Hero the R 😢 RODRYGO in the Lw and midfield
@@hndrixxchoshi facts! I’m making a short on him today or tomorrow. He’s been out of this world
R Not forgotten and he has contributed to recent wins. But the R isn’t the reason for 3+ differential points above what we have been conceding. The R has finally proven some consistency and should start the big matches going forward. The R is playing very well with Mbappe and Jude in a give and go and isn’t losing the ball as much as in the past.
Will Real win the Copa Del Rey .. tht is my question
We know it’s a historic year if that happens
Mans looking like zohan, you don’t mess with him
RM playing against elite teams, I think Carlo feels better playing Fede at RB compared to Asencio. Raul is good defensive but lacks offensive capabilities during buildup.
Hell yeah bro. Looking glossy 🎉🎉
You ready for Wednesday??
Do you see is passing in top 8? It's not impossible!
Asencio is the rising star & Ceballos is finally turning out.
treble, brother please, no hate on Madrid but let's see in the elimination round of UFEA, I don't think Madrid will even make it pass that, if they faced a well rounded teams like Bayern, Aston vila or even Atalanta.
Mate what are talking bout this is the same team minus vini that hasn't beaten a good team this season, no creativity no control in midfield, Bellingham looks great against little players in la liga but fails against big men like against Liverpool Milan and Barca though they are not big but simply better technicians. We are not good and Carlo is not doing anything other then playing the players who have saved him before in the hope they save him again. We are better with Arda
You deserve more abos! People please hit the Abo button its free for best Real Madrid content! Hala Madrid
Last season's formation was the best but Mbappe ruined it
Arda Best Option
Play Arda simple
Ancelotti is done he should leave real
He lost all matches vs big teams . He has good players but he keeps them on bench ! !
