Carlo Ancelotti Points Finger At Real Madrid's 'Lack Of Intensity'

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said Friday that two of the main factors behind his team's poor play this season are "lack of intensity in defence and slow ball circulation". Real Madrid sit second in La Liga on 18 points, three points behind leaders Barcelona, but have not set the new season alight despite the long-awaited addition of star striker Kylian Mbappe over the summer. On Wednesday, the reigning Liga and European champions lost their first match of the season away to French club Lille in the Champions League. "We are still not up to par, but we are not far away," Ancelotti said during his pre-match press conference ahead of Madrid's domestic clash with Villarreal.
