Real Madrid in turmoil: Valverde's wife criticizes Ancelotti
Although Mina Bonino later deleted her posts from the social networking site X, once something appears online, it tends to remain accessible for a long time. Federico Valverde's wife directed criticism at Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid.

It's a challenging autumn for Real Madrid, which was expected to be entirely different. This summer, Kylian Mbappe joined the team, and with his addition, the ensemble of stars was anticipated to dominate club football in Spain and across Europe.
The Royals aren't living up to their potential or the expectations of their fans. In the Spanish La Liga, they are trailing behind FC Barcelona, and in the Champions League, they find themselves mid-table. Real Madrid has endured, among other setbacks, a humiliating 0-4 defeat in El Clasico against Barcelona. Then, on Tuesday, they suffered a 1-3 loss to AC Milan.
Mina Bonino, the wife of Federico Valverde, was among the spectators at Real's disappointing match. She did not conceal her dissatisfaction, with the most heated moment arising after a substitution by Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian chose to take Mina Bonino's husband off the pitch at halftime, prompting the WAG to express her frustration on the social networking site X.
It's better if I switch off this match before I get into trouble - wrote Mina Bonino, before responding to comments defending the manager's decision. - What are you writing about? When will he finally understand that Fede plays best as a central midfielder, not as a winger? I've never seen criticism of a forward not returning to defence, but Fede, who runs everywhere, is always being singled out - she added.
It remains unclear whether the WAG reconsidered her online posts or if the player himself intervened, but Mina Bonino's posts were removed from her profile. Nevertheless, internet users managed to save the comments regarding Federico Valverde and Carlo Ancelotti.
The Real manager has concerns beyond the comments made by Federico Valverde's wife. Although he has led the Royals to many triumphs, the current downturn in the team's performance raises questions about his future at the club. Carlo Ancelotti must roll up his sleeves and quickly improve the team's fortunes.
