Ancelotti Holds ‘Special Discussion’ with Kroos and Modric, Detailing Their New Roles

Carlo Ancelotti, the renowned head coach of Real Madrid, recently engaged in a significant conversation with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, as confirmed by Marca’s Jose Felix Diaz. This discussion highlighted the shifting dynamics within the club’s midfield and the pivotal roles that both seasoned players and emerging talents will play in the upcoming season.

Ancelotti, hailing from Italy, underlined the importance of incorporating the club’s younger midfield talents into the team structure, signaling an ongoing era of transformation. Despite this emphasis, Ancelotti reassured Kroos and Modric of their enduring significance in the team’s plans, particularly as the demanding schedule brings forth the challenge of two matches per week.

In an effort to prevent any discord, the head coach wanted to ensure a harmonious relationship with these two midfield heavyweights, especially in light of their early omissions from the starting lineup in the beginning of the season.

During the current term, Ancelotti has shown a preference for a fresh tactical approach, adopting a novel ‘diamond’ formation that features Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Jude Bellingham as his core midfield starters. This strategic shift marks a transition toward a dynamic and versatile midfield setup.

Anticipated to depart from Real Madrid next summer, both Kroos and Modric are poised to conclude their remarkable journeys with the Whites. As they prepare for what could be their final season at the club, Ancelotti’s candid dialogue with these two football icons underscores the delicate balance between honoring tradition and embracing change in the dynamic landscape of football.
