LaLiga: Ancelotti hints at new formation for Real Madrid

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has revealed he is planning to try out a new formation during the club’s US tour this month.

Ancelotti is looking to fit in new signings like Jude Bellingham ahead of the new season.

Madrid signed Bellingham alongside forward, Joselu, playmakers Arda Guler and Brahim Díaz and full-back Fran García this summer.

Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard and Mariano Díaz have all left the Bernabeu.

“When I started coaching I had a clear idea, and I didn’t adapt to the players I had,” Ancelotti told a news conference on Friday, when asked if he’d consider a change of system.

“I had an experience at Parma, where [Roberto] Baggio wanted to play as a playmaker and I didn’t change the system. He went to another team. And I was wrong.”

Ancelotti has always played with a 4-3-3 formation at Madrid, but there has been speculation he could switch to a midfield diamond because of Bellingham’s arrival.
