Real Madrid, the Spanish team, the European Champions League title holder, escaped the ambush of its German guest, Stuttgart, with Kayseri winning 3-1, in the last moments of the match that was hosted by the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, on Tuesday evening, in the first round of the league stage in the new Champions League system.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Ancelotti went to the Real Madrid dressing room immediately after the match to congratulate the team’s star on his fantastic performance that night.
Ancelotti did not delay in shaking hands with Courtois because of what he did in this match in which he preserved Real Madrid’s chances of winning thanks to his wonderful saves.
The newspaper added that Perez spoke during the match with a member of Real Madrid’s board of directors and told him that Ancelotti owes Courtois his continuation as a coach at Real Madrid, as the Belgian giant saved Ancelotti in many matches over the previous seasons.
After the match, Perez went down to the team’s dressing room and exploded with anger at Ancelotti for substituting the team’s star, Rodrygo, even though the Brazilian player was the most active player on the Madrid team on the pitch.
Perez warned Ancelotti against substituting some of the brilliant players for fear of substituting the team’s stars such as Vinicius and Mbappe, and told him to replace Vinicius when his level drops and not leave him throughout the match.
The newspaper concluded that Ancelotti decided to keep Tchouameni on the bench in the upcoming matches immediately after Camavinga returns from injury due to the French player’s recklessness and his many mistakes that could cost the team a lot in decisive matches.
