Ancelotti’s laboratory move surprised Guardiola and Allegri

Carlo Ancelottionly coach in history to lift four European Cups and to win the top five leagues in the world (Italy, England, France, Germany and Spain), has a reputation for being an old-fashioned coach, more capable of achieving success through his wisdom and empathy in managing the changing rooms he walks through than his board prowess.

however, Carlo Ancelotti has a very young technical staff led by his son Davida tactician and strategist whose innovative ideas, according to some with whom he worked, perfectly complemented his father’s more traditional methods.

An original rehearsed centre-kick move came off the Ancelotti board which Madrid he performed twice, surprising and creating two very clear opportunities. The action will be seen at the opening whistle of the friendly against Juventus and also at the start of the second half of the second leg of the semi-final tie of Champions against him City of Manchester.

In just four strokes and in just three seconds, with the action of lightning, the Madrid This goes from taking a center to having four players attacking the rival area in a pack with unchecks behind a defense that doesn’t expect that movement.

The key to transition is Modric, was in charge of leaving the center on both occasions. As soon as the referee blew, the Croatian served backwards towards Casemiro while Vinicius, Benzema, Valverde Y Carvajal they ran forward. Modric He also pretends to run forward but turns back to receive the return pass from Case. there Modric plays first short for Cross and the German, also in the first touch, changed the game on the right with a long and deep pass for the arrival of Valverde Y Carvajal. The action catches the opponent trying to come out to press, which means, if there is no offside at the time of the pass, players throwing unchecks are completely

He is new City of Manchesterthe person in charge of reception is Carvajalwho went in alone and put a low cross to the far post which he wasted Vinicius in one of the clearest occasions for Madrid with 0-0 on the scoreboard. Before the Juvethe pass reached Valverde, who was offside before assisting Benzema so he can score a goal. The goal is not to climb the scoreboard but Carvajaltoo close to Valverdeis not offside.

It remains to be seen if he will real Madrid you will be able to re-enact this tried and true drawing move because your opponents already know the trick and will be more attentive. For now, in the absence of a goal, the laboratory play marks the house Ancelotti He had already caught the two greats on the board by surprise, just like them Guardiola Y Allegri.
