Carlo Ancelotti is still thinking about going slowly and getting results in the short term. The Italian coach has already said that the key is to get to Christmas with good feelings. “The key is for the team to get to Christmas alive,” the coach explained.

Time to make an assessment
Halfway through the season, it will be a good time to review what has been done so far. This is the opinion of Carlo Ancelotti, who still thinks that the team needs some reinforcements for the most crucial part of the season.
Juanma Castaño, in a conversation with Paco González on ‘El Partidazo de COPE ‘, also has it quite clear: “Ancelotti’s message is very clear. The team is alive until Christmas, and then, in January, it will be time to try to give it a new face.”
Carlo Ancelotti seems to be aware that the team needs time to find its rhythm and that the real challenge will come in 2025. Next year, Real Madrid will face the decisive part of all the competitions it hopes to win.
New faces in January?
In addition, Juanma Castaño spoke about the possible arrivals that may occur at Real Madrid in the winter market. In this sense, the January transfer window could be decisive in reinforcing specific areas of the team, which could give it that “new face.”

It is clear that Real Madrid’s objective in the transfer market should be to strengthen its defense. The attacking part has a dynamite that we have already seen against Atalanta, but doubts continue to appear at the back.
The performance of some players has dropped and injuries have meant that other key players have been unable to participate. Real Madrid are not very keen on bringing in new players in the winter, but there are always exceptions.
