That’s Perez Speaking, Not Ancelotti’: Real Madrid Fans Respond to Ancelotti’s Recent Statement

Following Real Madrid’s narrow 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo, manager Carlo Ancelotti made a statement that caught both fans and the media off guard. He asserted, “Vinicius’ injury will not force us to sign players. The team is complete.” This intriguing declaration sparked a flurry of opinions from fans, who took to Reddit to share their thoughts on Ancelotti’s perspective.

In a post-match press conference, the Italian boss continued, “We can win without Vinicius, Benzema, Courtois, Militao. Our attack is complete. The numbers speak for themselves. We are scoring goals without Benzema and Vinicius.” This assertion raised eyebrows, given Real Madrid’s considerable attacking depth and the impact of absent key players.

Reddit users responded with a mix of skepticism and sarcasm, speculating about the motives behind Ancelotti’s words. User LunarRaven7 weighed in, suggesting, “That’s Perez talking not Ancelotti.” Some fans expressed frustration, with An20ipec commenting, “This guy is delusional and detrimental to our progress for our club 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ He needs to get his ass over to Brazil and Perez needs to sign top players in attack.”

Amid the reactions, humor also emerged. RandomFluffyBoi quipped, “Carlo blink twice if you’re in danger,” alluding to the possibility that Ancelotti might be facing pressure or constraints beyond his control. Krzych123 sensed sarcasm, stating, “No doubt he’s being sarcastic now lol.”

Some fans speculated that Ancelotti’s statement might have underlying implications. Real_Callahan humorously implied, “Perez holding a lighter to his contract,” suggesting that the club’s president might be influencing the coach’s remarks.

User Any-Competition8494 interpreted the statement as a passive-aggressive message aimed at Perez, saying, “This is him being passive aggressive to Perez.” Amidst injuries and challenges, M_sami12 praised the team’s resilience, commenting, “I honestly don’t know how are we surviving this season with no forward players and all the injuries. Any other club would be lucky to qualify to UCL.”

In a touch of empathy, demonofthefall imagined a different outcome, musing, “Man if I was Carlo I’d say fuck this shit and head off to Rio. He’s too much of a gentleman to do that though,” highlighting Ancelotti’s professionalism in the face of speculation.
