Ancelotti s son cried farewell to Real Madrid: Cross left the team and felt like he lost Ronaldo!

David Ancelotti could no longer control her tears when the last applause at the Bernabeu Stadium. This assistant coach who has been with his father Carlo Ancelotti for more than ten years has opened his heart for the first time in an exclusive interview with Marca and told the unknown stories of bidding farewell to Real Madrid.

Introduction: The emotional moment of saying goodbye to Real Madrid

"Yes, we cried very hard. I cried even more fiercely than my father. "David admitted without any concealment, "We are such people, we will cry, and we don't mind admitting this. My sister, my father, and even my grandfather are even more so... " These words make people see the truest side of the football world - even the coaching team standing on the top of the world will cry like ordinary people when facing separation.

This is not an ordinary farewell. At the Bernabeu Stadium, Ancelotti and his son ended their chapter at Real Madrid in the most perfect way: trophy, tribute, and tears. "At the beginning of the season, we clearly planned to participate in the Club World Cup because our contract ends after 2026," David explained, "but given the development of things, I think we have the best way to end. The tribute we received at the end of the Bernabeu - it's worth cherishing, because it's very difficult to say goodbye like this at the club like Real Madrid. "

Real Madrid chapter of the Ancelotti family, it's a long enough time. David admitted: "I think it was exactly ten years ago that I had such a long vacation. After leaving Real Madrid in 2015, it was a long vacation. Then there was nothing - Bayern, Naples, Everton, and then back to Real Madrid, one by one. So this rest was also very good. "

In the past ten years, Ancelotti and his son have hardly stopped. From Bayern Munich in Germany to Naples in Italy, from Everton in England to Real Madrid in Spain, their footprints are spread across Europe's top football stages. And this experience at Real Madrid is undoubtedly the most precious memory.

At the last moment of the Bernabeu, when the fans stood up and applauded and the players hugged and said goodbye, the Ancelotti family knew that what they left behind here was not only the wisdom on the tactical board, but also a deep emotional bond.

Toward Brazil: The beginning of a new journey

Leaving Real Madrid does not mean the end of the story, but the beginning of a new chapter. David will go to the Brazilian national team with his father to prepare for the 2026 World Cup. "My ambition is to be able to coach alone one day. It's very clear to me," he said frankly, "At the end of the season, my dad gave me the opportunity to continue working with him at the Brazilian national team, and I asked him to give me some time to think about it and talk to some clubs... After weighing everything, I think playing in the World Cup with Brazil is the best decision at the moment. "

This decision was not easy. For a young coach who desires to be his own side, continuing to work under his father's wings requires courage and wisdom. But David knew that following Carlo Ancelotti in the World Cup would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Interestingly, David also admitted that he and his father were not always consistent: "Maybe my father and I disagree more. This is what he expects from me as an assistant coach and what he needs. He needs people who don't always agree, and I still need guidance at the beginning of my career. The final decision has always been and will always be his. "

The future of Real Madrid and the influence of Alonso

When Xavi Alonso took over Real Madrid's coach, the focus of the media naturally turned to the new coach. In this regard, David showed an admirable mind: "No, everyone said that Alonso is changing Real Madrid, which doesn't bother me. It's normal. He just arrived. Everyone wants to know how he works. Everyone has their own way of training - there is no way to win. "

This calm attitude reflects David's maturity. He understands that this is the case in the football world. Every new coach will bring new changes, and the media and fans' attention will also shift. What’s important is that the giant ship Real Madrid will continue to move forward, no matter who is at the helm.

Alonso's arrival has indeed injected new vitality into Real Madrid. This former Real Madrid midfielder core now returns as the head coach. His tactical philosophy and management style will inevitably bring new changes to the team. David maintains an open mind about this, which also reflects the professional qualities of the Ancelotti family.

Absents and Challenges of Key Players

Reviewing last season, David admitted that the team faced many challenges. "Dani's injury was difficult. He was the key player. Militon's injury also reduced our defenders. We lacked consistency, which could have allowed us to keep up with Barcelona. "

Injuries, this eternal topic in the football world, have once again become a stumbling block on Real Madrid's way forward. Even the best coaches in the world feel overwhelmed when key players fall one after another. The injuries of Dani Carvajal and Edel Militon made Real Madrid's defense fragile, which directly affected the team's overall performance.

But what makes David sad the most is Tony Cross's retirement. "The gap left by Cross is as big as that left by Sergio Ramos, Ronaldo or Casemiro. Tony is a unique player in Real Madrid and football history. The example he sets cannot be copied by any coaching staff. His departure is a huge loss - but he has been replaced by the most talented player in the world. "

This remark reveals the true value of Cross in Real Madrid. This German midfielder is not only a skilled player, but also the spiritual leader of the team. His passing, his overall situation, and his performance at critical moments are all wealth that cannot be measured by data. Although Mbappe's arrival has injected new vitality into Real Madrid, the gap left by Kroos may take time to truly fill it.

Definition Moment: Victory and Loss

In the years of Real Madrid, there are always some moments that will be deeply imprinted in memory. When asked about the most memorable moment, David replied without hesitation: "Benzema's third goal against Paris Saint-Germain, the goal from the kick-off. I will never forget that. "

It was a magical night, and Real Madrid made an epic reversal at the Bernabeu. Benzema's hat trick not only helped the team eliminate Paris Saint-Germain, but also showed Real Madrid's never-saying spirit. The goal, which was formed directly from the kickoff, is still talked about by fans today.

But football always has two sides. The most painful memories are also clear: "National Derby, we lost 0-4 to Barcelona at the Bernabeu in the first year of Xavi's coaching Barcelona. " The disastrous defeat in that game was not only a loss in the score, but also a heavy blow to Real Madrid's self-esteem. Such pain will probably accompany every Real Madrid player for a long time when he is humiliated by his mortal enemy at home.

Dreams and Hope: Possibilities in the future

Although he is about to embark on a new journey, David did not forget his ultimate dream. "The dream of coaching Real Madrid does exist. Who doesn't have the dream of coaching Real Madrid? So yes, that is of course a dream. "

These words are both a tribute to Real Madrid and a longing for the future. Real Madrid, one of the greatest football clubs in the world, is the ultimate goal for any coach. Although David had worked here as an assistant coach, returning as a head coach would be a completely different experience.

or many years later, when Davide has accumulated enough experience and proved his abilities, he will really be on the coaching bench at the Bernabeu again. At that time, he will no longer be Carlo Ancelotti's son, but David Ancelotti, a head coach who is the only one.

Praise to Vinicius

David gave Vinicius a special praise when talking about the players. "You have to see the progress he has since arrived - it's impressive. He is a serious worker, without malice. He will be emotional in the game, but it's part of the competition. He needs support, not blame. "

This remedys Vinicius. The Brazilian winger is often criticized for his emotional performance on the court, but David saw a innocent, hard-working young man. Vinicius' growth trajectory is indeed amazing. From a young boy who is just a young man to a core player who is indispensable to Real Madrid today, his transformation is obvious.

More importantly, David emphasized Vinicius' character: "No malice". In today's football world, such an evaluation is extremely precious. A player with excellent skills and noble character is exactly what every coach dreams of.

Conclusion: The end of an era and the opening of a new chapter
