From Zidane’s Madrid to Ancelotti’s

Of ‘Alcoyanazo‘From last year (1-2) to tomorrow’s duel against the Alicante team, not even a year has passed. The first duel and in which the Madrid He hit a historical stumble occurred on January 20, 2021 and tomorrow will be 15 days before, on the 5th.

However, even though the Earth has not circled the Sun one full circle since then, the Real Madrid it has changed quite a bit. He has changed coach. No longer is Zidane, is now Ancelotti. And captain. No longer is Ramos, is now Marcelo. And to change, even players who were in the debacle and who are still in the team today have changed. It is the case of Vinicius The Militao who wear the jersey but everyone will agree that they are not the same players as then.

Substantial improvement
