Ancelotti and Bale blasted by Calderon



The ex-Real Madrid supremo has criticised the
Welsh star and the trainer of the team, as he thinks
they do not have the right ingredients to be
successful at the club
Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon does
not believe that Gareth Bale or Carlo Ancelotti have
strong enough personalities to cope with the pressure at
the club.
Calderon feels Bale, a world-record signing from
Tottenham, lacks the mental strength to deal with the
expectations surrounding los Blancos like Cristiano
Ronaldo.
"Bale seems to me like the opposite of what 'The Lion
King' Ronaldo stands for," the 62-year-old told
Tuttosport.
"Bale seems psychologically fragile to me, one who
suffers. To play for Real, you must have nerves of steel.
The pressure is bigger than at any other club in the
world."
The ex-CEO also says Madrid's coach Ancelotti, who was
brought in from Paris Saint-Germain as a replacement
for Jose Mourinho, is not the right man for the job.
"It seems to me that Ancelotti does not have the
personality and charisma to lead Real Madrid," he
continued.
"The team have yet to play a defined, organised and
homogeneous football, and they concede too many
goals.
"Among other things, I was surprised when they told
me that in the summer he turned just 54. I saw him
already close to retirement."
