Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has disclosed that some players are unhappy with him because of their lack of game time.
Ancelotti has no doubts those players he leave out of his team selection will complain about him to their family and friends.
Speaking on actor Giacomo Poretti’s podcast, Ancelotti admits he often feels undervalued.
“Sometimes it seems like we are not valued enough. I would like to be a fly to hear what a player says when he is not playing and returns home. Many players have argued with me,” he said.
“Many players have had problems with me, but in the end everything has been resolved. There was a player, I won’t give his name, who when I spoke in the dressing room, put a towel over his face so as not to hear me.
“It was at the beginning of his career. One day I told him: ‘We can’t go on like this’. There are players who, when you leave them on the bench, find it difficult to greet you in the morning. That’s when they confuse the person with the player.”
