Ancelotti
The difference in approaches was the problem when Ancelotti was coaching Bayern. This Bayern dressing room wasn't used to the kind of relaxation he brought in. Strong team, not in the comfort zone. There was no system. It is even stranger that it is Ancelotti-the author of a relaxed and even anti-systemic Real-who insists on high pressure, high defense and possession in shape. Well, it does not work: intense team, but outside the comfort zone.
Mbappe
Mbappe has lost 5 out of 7 matches in the Champions League over the last six months. He scored only one goal (32 shots on goal). The player changed after the World Cup. He does exactly the same things he used to do a couple of years ago, but it just doesn't work now. The superiority in 1-on-1 play is not there anymore, as if his talent was stolen. Today Mbappe missed his sixth penalty after the World Cup. And for Kelleher, it was his sixth penalty at the adult level in regular time – and the ...

Italy
Italy is godlike in space. Well, at least we know examples of such divinity, it is Spain, to a much lesser extent-Germany. Spalletti is transferring the Italian national team to Inter. This is despite the fact that everything is pretty bad with the performers at the forefront of the attack. That is, there really is a crop failure in this generation. At the same time, the defense is stellar. And Di Lorenzo, next to Bastoni and Callafiori in the trio, plays like a star. The choice of players in...

Rodri's victory is also the victory of Spaniards and midfielders. Can you imagine, for 64 years, no Spaniard has won the Golden Ball. A drought longer than what the English have faced during major tournaments. The years Spanish footballers along with the national team shone bright, yet none were recognized. Not even Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol or Raul. But now Rodri.
In 69 years, the Golden Ball has been awarded for only the tenth time to a midfielder, and in the 21st century, it is only the third time. It is unfairly little for such an important position, with midfielders-particularly controlling defensive midfielders-being the very embodiment of football-let me remind you-a team sport.
The third point of reward is that Rodri was one of the best in this season 2022/23; he deserved such an award even then.
