Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has given a stern warning to central defender Eder Militao after his recent inconsistent performances.
Real Madrid defender Eder Militao has been told to “wake up” by his manager Carlo Ancelotti after the Brazilian made a costly error in Real Madrid’s 2-0 defeat to Real Sociedad on Tuesday.
Militao’s back pass was intercepted by Takefusa Kubo to allow Real Sociedad open the scoring in the first half.
Ander Barrenetxea added a second goal for Real Sociedad in the final five minutes after Dani Carvajal received his second yellow card after an hour.
Ancelotti says Militao needs to wake up
When asked about Militao, Ancelotti said: “I agree, he has to wake up. And has to do soon”.

This season, Militao has been a part of a Real backline that has conceded 32 goals in 33 La Liga games. He has appeared 44 times in all competitions for Real this season.
Ancelotti admitted Tuesday night’s defeat was not ideal preparation for Sunday’s Copa del Rey final against Osasuna.
“It’s not the best way to prepare for a match,” the Real boss added. “A defeat always hurts, gives concern, lowers the dynamic and good feelings. The final and the first leg of the semifinals affect concentration.”
The result leaves Real 14 points behind Barcelona after the Catalan club extended their La Liga lead with a 1-0 victory over Osasuna.
