How Madrid are to Succeed with Ancelotti

If Madrid are going to bounce back from last season, Carlo Ancelotti is going to need to gather all the players together and get them on his side. Mourinho left a bad taste in everyone's mouth and really brought down player morale. When you have a falling out with two of the best players to ever play this sport in Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas, you know there's a major problem with the coach. Ancelotti MUST convince Ronaldo to stay at Madrid and not be tempted to go back to Old Trafford. Ronaldo said early in the season that he was unhappy and was contemplating his future. He has supposedly been to Manchester and has had talks about a possible transfer. I'm not sure how true these reports are or if these are even serious talks, but the fact it's out there is a problem for Madrid. As for Iker, he proved he's the second best in the world(Gigi bias here) at the Confederations Cup when he saved Spain against Italy with wonderful save upon save. There should be no doubt that he's the starting goalkeeper for his club, although Diego Lopez does deserve a few starts if Casillas falls in some short slumps. Ancelotti also has some tactiful issues to work out. With Higuain gone and Isco coming in, he'll need to figure out where Isco can fit into the squad. Ronaldo is a winger through and through and should not be played as a target man by any means. Ronaldo even spoke out publicly how he hates playing in the middle when Mourinho played him there. Ancelotti should also test out Varane in the defense as Ramos can't do it all by himself which he usually ends up doing.  Varane is a 19 year old Frenchman with an extremely bright future ahead of him, he needs consistent playing time in order to develop. If these things can be done, expect Real Madrid to give Barcelona a real run for their money and a deep, deep run into the Champions League. The most important thing for Ancelotti is to bring up player morale and start off on the good side of things with everybody.
