Crazy "reversal for 48 hours", where is Ancelotti going?

Reporter Han Bing reported In the football world, "score" cannot be considered a conclusion until the last moment. Not only on the court, but also on the contract text. Within 48 hours this Monday to Wednesday, Ancelotti, Brazilian Football Association and Real Madrid Club have deeply understood this.

Everything was suddenly: Real Madrid went from releasing Ancelotti by default to asking for liquidated damages from the Italians; Ancelotti went from agreeing to coach Brazil to termination of negotiations; Brazilian Football Association went from "ultimatum" to turning to the Riyadh Crescent Portuguese coach Jesus.

Ancelotti's fate has changed from one to three: Brazil, Saudi Arabia and staying in Real Madrid, and it is possible to eventually choose either one.

Originally, both the Brazilian Football Association and Ancelotti believed that the cooperation was no longer suspense: on April 8, Brazilian Football Association's special envoy Diego Fernandez and Spanish agent Alvaro Costa flew to London to watch Arsenal and Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-finals, more importantly, they signed the contract to hire Ancelotti. Of course, the contract was not signed in the end. Afterwards, the two sides reached an agreement at the lunch meeting after Real Madrid was eliminated. Ancelotti was responsible for persuading Real Madrid to release the players in advance, making his debut the next day after La Liga (May 25), and announced the first Brazilian team roster since taking office.

The two sides agreed to sign at the European office of the Brazilian Football Association in London this Monday (April 28). Ancelotti arrived in London as scheduled, but did not sign it. The Italians hurriedly returned to Madrid accompanied by the Brazilian Football Association envoy, but the result of continuing the negotiations was that both sides' positions were "more and farther away". At around 22:30 on Tuesday night, Ancelotti's team revealed that Real Madrid would not let him sign a contract with Brazil in advance, and the negotiations were forced to be suspended, which shocked everyone who thought the Italians had "handled" Real Madrid.

Ancelotti coaches Brazil's team, which is a chaotic reversal, and the three parties involved have different versions. Real Madrid was the first to stop the negotiations with a tough stance. Previously, Chairman Florentino acquiesced to the negotiations between Ancelotti and the Brazilian Football Association, but was very dissatisfied with the Italians' "high-profile" exposed by the media before and after the Champions League knockout and the Copa del Rey final. Ancelotti even gave the team two and a half days off after Real Madrid lost the Cup final, which easily makes people think that this move is to give themselves enough time to sign in London.

There is also the liquidated damages, and the two parties also have differences.

Real Madrid believes that Ancelotti has left voluntarily and the club does not need to pay compensation. But Ancelotti believes that after being eliminated from the Champions League, he has received a clear willingness to change the coach of the club. He hopes to get the compensation "asked" with the club and leave with decent amounts. The specific amount of the compensation is reported by different parties, ranging from 4 million euros, 11 million to 25 million, but Real Madrid has always insisted that it will not pay any fees. Real Madrid insisted that they would not let Ancelotti leave before the end of the season, and they could not even rule out the possibility of letting the Italian lead the team to play the Club World Cup. In addition to Ancelotti's failure to fulfill his promise to "get it" Real Madrid, the Italians also have the price to "start".

Previously, the Brazilian Football Association agreed that Ancelotti must live in Brazil for a long time, but the Italians expressed deep concerns about the security situation in Brazil. On Tuesday, he temporarily proposed not to live in Brazil for a long time, and used Argentina coach Scaloni's long time in Madrid as a reasonable basis for his appeal. In addition, the Brazilian Football Association has just undergone a re-election of the president and Rodriguez was successfully re-election, but he was removed by a Brazilian court last year. Ancelotti still has concerns about whether he can get the continued support of the Football Association.

The negotiations between Ancelotti and the Brazilian Football Association have not broken down but have been suspended, and the Brazilian Football Association also gave an ultimatum. Ancelotti has another "ultimate negotiation" with the Real Madrid president. If the compensation issue can be resolved, Brazil will also choose Italians. But in fact, the Brazilian Football Association has begun to contact Riyadh Crescent coach Jesus. In the quarter-finals of the AFC Elite League, Riyadh Crescent was eliminated by Jeddah Nationals. In addition, Jeddah United, which was 6 points behind the top of the list in the league, has little hope of defending the title, and Jesus' departure from the New Moon is a foregone conclusion.

As for the Saudi giants who suddenly revealed that they offered a sky-high annual salary for Ancelotti, at least there has been no official offer yet. It is said that Ancelotti's annual salary will be 40 million US dollars and 50 million euros by then. Riyadh Crescent hopes to sign Ancelotti as the "capital" to attract Vinicius to join. The compensation issue between Ancelotti and Real Madrid is expected to be resolved soon. Only when he has been confirmed to be a free agent will he have sufficient conditions to consider all quotations.

In any case, the patience of the Brazilian Football Association will not last long. If Ancelotti cannot give a clear answer this week, the Brazilian team's new coach's goal will be immediately shifted to Jesus, while Palmeiras's Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira is "Plan B".
