Ancelotti was questioned if Real Madrid needed to recruit a more pure number nine to play behind Karim Benzema, despite the fact that the team occasionally used Marco Asensio and Rodrygo Goes in the centre in his absence, at a press conference before Tuesday night’s matchup with Real Sociedad.
“The project for the future for the club is to sign a 9, because Karim is the age he is. But Karim is doing very well up until now and while he is in good condition, it’s working very well.” said the Real Madrid manager.

While Real Madrid was on the winning end of that scoreline against Almeria at the weekend, Ancelotti will no doubt have been displeased with his defense’s lack of focus after they were severely criticised by the Italian manager last week after they were defeated by Girona 4-2.

Real seems set to give up the La Liga championship in 2022–23 as Clasico rivals Barcelona move 11 points ahead of them in the standings. However, they have a crucial Champions League semi-final match against Manchester City coming up and are scheduled to play Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final on Sunday. Ancelotti is getting his team ready for a trip to Real Sociedad on Tuesday before going for any more significant hardware and amid concerns about his continued stay at Santiago Bernabeu.
