Yeah, it's a big conundrum how to fit the pieces of the jigsaw together.
It's kind of the problem every coach would like.
You know, we say or people say, oh God, who would be crazy enough to manage Real Madrid?
But
Carlo Ancelotti ran out the door of Goodison Park to get back to Real Madrid when the chance fell in his lap again in 2021, was it?
So the raw material is incredible.
You've Artur Guler as well, like you've great, great players in that squad.
So it's just getting the pieces together to fit together and
to just motivate them, you know, to have the authority to manage that dressing room.
I think it was really interesting watching Xabi Lonzo and I think it highlighted how incredible a coach Carlo Ancelotti was.
or still is, that Javi Alonso failed.
You know, he was only there six months, more or less, but he couldn't master that dressing room and they weren't playing good football either.
So it was really interesting to watch him fail in that way.
But some people have it and others don't for that dressing room.
yeah he is but i mean that that dressing room is is is always difficult to manage it was you know known as the ferrari boys in the 90s um there there's always there it's the club of the galactic because you have huge egos and it's a question of managing those egos they had a
brilliant esprit de corps in the 2023-2024 season.
We remember that photo of Carlo Ancelotti on the team bus going around the city celebrating with the cigar in his mouth.
The players loved him and they were getting on well.
I think what's missing since then is, apart from whoever's coach,
But you've lost a lot of senior players like Nacho, Lucas Vasquez, Spanish guys, Modric, Tony Cruz, especially, you know, huge influence, just quiet leaders.
