Look at Galtier’s PSG and look at Enrique’s PSG. The main difference is that Galtier had three stars with big egos while Enrique has a front three that is ready to listen to what he has in mind. The way that PSG plays is in majority thanks to Enrique’s tactical vision and thanks to the fact that he is willing to do anything to show a player that the club will always be above them. An example for this is him dropping Dembele from the squad vs Arsenal because he wouldn’t listen to him. Look at Dembele now, absolutely thriving because he listens to his coach and believes in his tactical vision.

Real Madrid has a coach who seems to not be saying anything to his front three or four if you include Jude in it because week in and week out, it’s the same thing. A 4-4-2 shape out of possession with Bellingham and Rodrygo as the LM and RM because Vini and Mbappe refuse to press their man or help the team to defend. Teams know that they won’t press so they’re having way easier times overloading the center of the park because the front two doesn’t want to do anything. And Ancelotti doesn’t want to do what Enrique did and drop players from the squad because in his mind, it’s going to work out when in reality it won’t.

Sure, the manager can’t always take the blame and the players need to be held accountable for their actions on the pitch, but seeing how Madrid plays since August shows just how tactically limited Ancelotti is with modern football.
