A coach (Ancelotti) has to make decisions if the team does not function collectively as he thinks
Alvaro Benito
During the television broadcast Maldini (Julio Maldonado) highlighted that “Aurélien Tchouaméni’s seams are showing”an opinion that Álvaro Benito endorsed: “I agree”.
Good players who leave their lives on the field for a plan are already a difficult team for any rival to beat. And at Real Madrid, at the moment, I don’t see the plan

Álvaro Benito, critical of Vinicius in the Super Cup: “It is one of the things that I do not accept from footballers”
“I was surprised by Vincius’s change, because you can always expect the best from him, but it is true that you have to push him in everything.”
“He didn’t even go to duels, he stayed standing…”
“For me this is always the case, and I’m not saying it today because it’s lost, it’s one of the things I don’t accept from footballers. Not from Vinicius or anyone else.”
“Today is a final against Barcelona… how are you going to reserve?”
Álvaro Benito does not see a plan in Ancelotti: “After the arrival of Mbappé the team has taken the opposite path”
“A coach (Ancelotti) has to make decisions if the team does not function collectively as he thinks.”
The best plays and all the goals.
“Something has been lost along the way: in the last two Champions Leagues for example, like important titles for Real Madrid, for me the common denominator was collective work… This year with the arrival of Mbappé they thought that everything was going to be a little simpler and we wouldn’t have to grit our teeth so much. And it was the other way around, the team has taken the opposite path.”
“The coaches have all the influence on what happens in a team. A coach changes a team. Hansi Flick has changed Barça. The team is the one from last year. Flick has convinced the team to play what he wants. “The team is risking their lives on the field. Good players who leave their lives on the field for a plan are already a difficult team for any rival to beat. And at Real Madrid, at the moment, I don’t see the plan.” .
Álvaro Benito highlights Yamal in SER: “I had not seen a player of this age do those things”
“What this boy (Lamine Yamal) does, at his age, is incredible: we don’t know where his ceiling may be after four or five years. I had not seen a player of this age do the things that Lamine”.
“What surprises me most about Lamine Yamal is the naturalness with which he resolves any play, no matter how difficult it may be to get out of it. Whether due to skill or intelligence. The personality he shows when facing any situation in the game is not conditioned by the mistake… That’s very difficult at that age.”
Minute 22.
“I’m not saying that Lamine Yamal is going to be better than Messi… But Messi in his first years had a hard time defining the way he defined later.”
“And Lamine is not affected by anything on an emotional level. He plays very calmly. He is very intelligent at a football level. He resolves in any situation. First in visualizing the play.”
