I thought nothing would come of it, but here it is Ancelotti is taking over Brazil. What do you think, how far can he go in the upcoming WC? If everything falls into place, he could be the main favorite to win.
This was never debatable because since the Brazilian interest in him I know the federation will wait to get their man and with him reluctant about getting sacked at Real Madrid I already knew he will be heading to the record world champions. Frankly speaking Carlo Ancelloti is taking up a job much bigger than when he arrived at Real Madrid for the second time. The Brazil national team we knew are a reckon to go against but for the last decade this team are simply a shadow of themselves and seriously do not look like any real contenders. This again is also a job different with the regular ones he has managed because he can’t get access to players like he used to in club side and that might affect his tactics.
Also I don’t agree that Brazil can be near anything favorite at the moment, I can name at least five nations having a better chance at any tournament than the Samba boys, Ancelloti simply needs to bring the spirit back and see how through they can go, this group or player seriously need orientation but I trust Ancelloti to give out his best.
This is a serious challenge Xabi Alonso will forget all the intelligence he has.
Xabi Alonso not only coaches like a club but Xabi also coaches demands with a high level of prestige.
We just wish Xabi Alonso success at the Santiago Bernabeu. At least he can still be and deserves to be considered an intelligent person.
One thing I find interesting in the coming of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid is the fact that he will put much of the players in place. This set of Real Madrid players have enjoyed way far too pampering by Ancelloti and needed a modern manager to put them at place, although Xabi Alonso is so much friendly he has this toughness in him that can put some of this top players into position. Also he is tactically at the moment better in my opinion than Ancelloti and that’s something the club needs now
It's a surprise to me that Anceloti won't stay for the Club World Cup after all, as previously planned. In general, it is good for him, and he loses a little bit, because for Real Madrid this season is actually over, and it ended without trophies. I do not think that the management is so disappointed in him that they wanted him to leave, on the contrary, they wanted to keep him, but he preferred the national team, in general, why not, such chances rarely fall out
