The head coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, did not miss the opportunity to criticize his former player Angel Di Maria. Last season, the Argentine demonstrated impressive athletic form in the "white" team, but decided to join Manchester United in the summer for 75 million euros, a club struggling this season. C.Ancelotti also praised A.Di Maria, but criticized him for often holding on to the ball and ultimately losing it. "Di Maria brought storm-like energy to the matches, but he also often lost control of the ball when important passes needed to be made," said C.Ancelotti. "People should think carefully before saying James Rodriguez will replace Angel. They are two different players who should not be compared," added the Italian. The "white" coach also praised Toni Kroos' game. According to C.Ancelotti, he is the "boss" of the midfield, who has excellently replaced Xabi Alonso. "Kroos is another 'professor'. I am amazed by his exceptional vision of the game and I can confidently say that he is the perfect replacement for Xabi Alonso," concluded the coach.
