Preseason friendlies are not used to draw conclusions about the performance of a team, however, Real Madrid has managed to convince the entire world that the squad and the game system are working great. Now, after beating Manchester United and AC Milan, Ancelotti has revealed the secret.

"When I started training I had a clear idea and I didn't adapt to the players... until I began to understand that it's better to adapt to the players," said Mr. Merengue after the match against Manchester United. With that sentence he summed up the axis of his renewed game idea that led him to win his last Champions League less than two years ago. However, this all depends on one thing…

It is not the first time that Ancelotti has emphasized this, but the coach is clear that absolutely everything happens through the midfield. Bellingham, Kroos, Tchouaméni, Modric, Valverde, Güler and Ceballos are and will be the keys to this new Real Madrid who will try to win absolutely everything this year, just like every season. In addition, the new jewels pose a very hopeful outlook for the present and future of the midfield.

Ego is forbidden

Another of the main aspects that Carlo Ancelotti highlighted about the current Real Madrid is the good atmosphere in the dressing room. According to the coach, there are no egos in the team and everyone pulls in the same direction, thus making the dressing room much easier to manage. We'll see how Merengue is doing this season and if the Italian manages to win the coaching match against Xavi Hernández.
