According to José Félix Díaz from Marca, alarms have been triggered at Real Madrid following recent results, leading to a tense meeting between the squad and coaching staff last Thursday. With the transfer window closed, the club is seeking internal solutions to improve team performance and restore lost confidence.

In the meeting, errors were analyzed and strategies were discussed to reverse the situation, focusing on necessary adjustments rather than assigning blame. The discussion, as reported by Díaz, was frank and centered on specific data highlighting a lack of effort and support at critical moments. Discussions included instances of lack of solidarity on the field, especially noted during the recent match against Milan, which took some players by surprise and prompted a commitment to a change in attitude from the entire team.

Díaz also notes that Ancelotti, in a more assertive tone than usual, demanded that experienced players take leadership roles and motivate the team to reach the level expected by the club. Emphasizing the importance of keeping younger players in supportive roles, rather than as leads, was another outcome of the talk at Valdebebas.

The meeting concluded with a positive and renewed attitude, with players acknowledging their responsibility for the current situation. The subsequent training session reflected the team's readiness to improve and implement the discussed changes.

Despite the tense atmosphere, the team committed to carrying this new mindset onto the field. As reported by José Félix Díaz, for Ancelotti and the players, the change must be immediate and evident in the upcoming matches, aware that the season depends on this transformation on the pitch.
