On April 25th, Beijing time, in the latest exclusive interview, former Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman expressed sharp opinions on topics related to Real Madrid.


When asked whether Ancelotti should bear all the blame, the Dutch coach said straightforwardly, "The head coach is always the first person responsible, but this is not fair." He is one of the most successful coaches in history. His ability to manage the star-studded locker room so harmoniously demonstrates his extraordinary wisdom. Koeman emphasized the principle of shared team responsibility: "Losing is the problem of the entire team, but in the end the coach becomes the scapegoat - this pattern needs to change."
In response to the phenomenon of fans booing Mbappe at the Bernabeu, Koeman took a clear stance: "I don't agree with booing one's own player, especially a world-class star like him." Although the performance of the French striker was not directly evaluated, it hinted that fans should be more tolerant: "Top players need an adaptation period. Booing only creates pressure."
In previous reports, Real Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League after losing to Arsenal, and Ancelotti will leave the team after coaching the Copa del Rey final.
