In his first season with Real Madrid, Ancelotti started La Liga with three consecutive victories, then stumbled with a two-goal draw against Villarreal at home.
The first match for Real at home will be between the only team that has won all their matches so far, alongside Real Betis.
If this trend continues, Ancelotti will set new records. During his leadership of the royal in 179 (132 victories, 22 draws, and 25 defeats), he surpassed Jose Mourinho, who is the sixth most leading coach for the royal team.
Ancelotti has become close to the number of Luis Molony matches (183) and if he continues this season, he can surpass Leo Penhakar (197), but he is still far from coach Vicente del Bosque (246) and Zinedine Zidane (263), and the very long number of Miguel Muñoz ( 605).
At the level of tournaments, the Italian coach is going to shorten the distances. After winning the European Super Cup, he raised his tally to 8 championships with the team, and he still has only Zinedine Zidane’s number in his 11 and 14 championships for Miguel Muñoz.
These numbers can be broken if the success of the Italian coach continues, who announced that this adventure for him with Real Madrid will be his last in training.
The decisive results achieved by the team this season, with a 1-2 victory over Almeria, 1-4 over Celta Vigo, and 1-3 over Espanyol, did not appear except in Ancelotti’s first season in the leadership of Real.
In 2013, he beat Real Betis (2-1), Athletic Bilbao (3-1), and Granada (0-1), and two of these matches were at home.
Villarreal cut the path of good results at that time before the team’s first defeat came in the seventh round, in the derby against Atletico Madrid.
Against Real Betis, Ancelotti can extend his best start to the season, which is also the best scoring start in his years with Real Madrid, with the team scoring nine goals in three games.
The Italian coach is looking forward to being at the forefront by winning that match, through which he seeks to maintain the scoring effectiveness and improve the defensive aspects after he shook the net with a goal in each of the previous three matches.
