Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's coach, confirmed that he will focus on correcting the team's trajectory rather than engaging in the controversy surrounding his future. Ancelotti approaches the match against Alavés, scheduled for Sunday, under intense pressure following two consecutive home losses to Celta Vigo and Manchester City. Real Madrid has managed only two wins in their last eight matches across all competitions. Ancelotti has attempted to ignore the noise around him to get the team back on track. In a pre-match press conference, Ancelotti stated: "I always affirm that the most important thing for me is the team and the club. We have an important and difficult match tomorrow under the circumstances we are in, and our goal is to improve the results." He added, "Based on my long experience in football, I well understand that a dismissal at this stage of the season is a possibility in La Liga." "My impression is that football is always demanding, and I know that the media will focus its speculation on more coaches being fired in the coming period, while I focus on working more and will not place additional burdens on myself." Ancelotti took charge of Real Madrid last May, coming from Bayer Leverkusen. After 16 La Liga matches, Real Madrid trails league leaders and their main rivals, Barcelona, by four points.
