The 2 footballers who disappoint Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti is going through a complicated situation regarding the performance of two key players in his lineup: Lucas Vázquez and Ferland Mendy. Both players, regulars in the Italian coach's starting eleven, are far from their best form, causing concern on the Real Madrid bench. Despite always showing confidence in them, their current performance is below expectations and is becoming an evident issue in matches.

Ferland Mendy:

Mendy, who used to be a defensive guarantee at left-back, has seen his inconsistency cost him playing time. In several matches, Ancelotti has chosen to give opportunities to Fran García, who, despite his lack of experience, has responded adequately. The Frenchman's lack of consistency may lead to more changes in that position if he doesn't rediscover his best form.

Lucas Vázquez:

On the other hand, Lucas Vázquez's situation is even more delicate. Converted to right-back, his current level is a far cry from what he showed in previous seasons. With no clear alternatives in his position due to the absence of a natural right-back in the squad, physical wear and tear and the accumulation of minutes could take a toll. Although Ancelotti has used Fede Valverde as a temporary solution in certain cases, moving the Uruguayan from midfield doesn't seem like a viable fix.

Search for reinforcements in January

With the winter transfer window approaching, the sporting directorate may seek reinforcements to address these issues, especially at right-back. Meanwhile, Ancelotti must find a way to keep his team competitive, trusting that both Mendy and Lucas can overcome this rough patch and regain the form that once made them essential players.
