Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t seem like the type to set a New Year’s resolution for the next 12 months, knowing that planning too far in advance for the Santiago Bernabeu can be foolhardy. However, a first goal for the year has been set.
Los Blancos have a packed agenda in January, with La Liga, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup at stake. However, Relevo say that one of their goals is to get Ferland Mendy back to his best level. The Frenchman has been in a bad mood, suffering several injuries and, at times, sitting on the bench behind Fran García. They also point out that in the Champions League the percentage of duels they have won has fallen by 15.5% compared to last year, while they also recover the ball 0.8 times less per game.
Mendy was a stalwart of Ancelotti last year, and the Italian has been his biggest defender at Real Madrid in recent years, earning him a renewal until 2028. Beyond his own credit, with Dani Carvajal out of action in The other side of the defence, Mendy looks like a much more direct route to a solid defense than Garcia, and with an attacking lineup ahead of him, Mendy’s defensive instincts could be key.
