Ancelotti is not against playing some games just for the result, like this cup match with Sociedad, he gave some players a rest before the games with Betis in La Liga and with Atletico in the Champions League. But at the same time he strives to win in all competitions, this is commendable, but it does not always bring the results he expects, because in La Liga they again allowed Barcelona to overtake them.
Yes, this season Real Madrid is very busy with various competitions, so Ancelotti must be able to rotate players very well. Because playing in three competitions at once will of course drain the energy of the main players at Real Madrid. So in this situation Ancelotti really has to field his second tier squad more often. Even though this is actually risky, it can't be helped that this is the right strategy for Ancelotti to implement. But I am sure that with Real Madrid's current performance, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to perform well in all competitions.
Because yesterday against Sociedad, Real Madrid looked like their performance was not as good as when all their main players were fielded. That's why in the end Ancelotti has to decide which competition he will focus on this season. Whether it's UCL or in Laliga. Because if Ancelotti targets these two competitions simultaneously, I think the results will be less than satisfactory. Because we can see, when Real Madrid played in the UCL preliminary round, at that time Real Madrid's performance really got a little worse, whether in Laliga or in the UCL. That's why, with Real Madrid's current condition, I think focusing on one competition to win is the right thing for Real Madrid. Because if, for example, Real Madrid pushes itself too hard to focus on all the competitions it is currently participating in, I think Real Madrid's chances of getting a trophy will be small.
