Real Madrid prepares for its marathon of 7 games in 24 days
Florentino Pérez's team starts a marathon of seven games in 24 days against a direct rival for the Spanish League, it is Sevilla de Lopetegui. Now, Real Madrid already has the discharge of Uruguayan Valverde, but Alaba remains a doubt, since he suffers from a slight knee sprain.
Ancelotti has reflected on the quality of the team and on how they have improved in recent times. "The secret is that my men are playing a football that they are used to doing, in the center of the field we dominate, and we are being more effective up front".
"We have a lot of quality to find different solutions towards the goal, we do very well the set pieces and the cons. This is what the team has been demonstrating at the moment". Ancelotti added.
Likewise, the Italian coach has made it clear that before the escalation of the seven games in 24 days, things will not change "I do not want to change something that has been working well, I will only make changes if I see that someone is tired".
A very tough challenge for the squad
In this way, the Italian coach has been referring to this marathon of matches as a rather tough test for his entire squad. This will force Carlos Ancelotti to have to rotate his players, but how he will do it is questioned.
"Before each match I will make an evaluation of each player and the strategy that is proposed to try to place the best. If I see that one of my men is tired I will change it, but I do not want to change something that is going very well for something that we assume it's going to be fine". The white technician commented.
He also made a balance on all the results obtained in this course: "We are happy, we have been doing very well. Of course, we can improve, the team is very well, and we can arrive in optimal conditions for Christmas. The evaluation of the squad I love it. They have a lot of commitment, they are humble, I like the atmosphere of the team".
Where will Vinicius play if Mbappé arrives?
The Italian coach has analyzed the reality of Vinicius who is right now his untouchable man. Likewise, he has been asked if Vinicius needs a rest and if he will continue to play on the left if Mbappé arrives.
"During the game against the Sheriff he was not seen at his usual level. I do not see him tired, I think the game did not need much of him either, Vinicius will always play on the left regardless of the teammate he has (Mbappé)" explained the director Real Madrid coach.
Considering the current performance of Spanish clubs, Carlos Ancelotti has been asked if he considers that Spanish football has lost quality when right now Real Madrid is the only Spanish club qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
To this the coach has declared the following: "Real Madrid is the only one that has qualified for the moment, but I think more Spanish teams will go to the round of 16, we must wait".
Bale's situation with Madrid and Barnett's statements
They have also discussed the current situation of Bale with the team and the controversial statements of Barnett, the agent of the Welsh player against the Madrid fans, as well as the statement of the Madrid supporters' clubs against the player's agent and the footballer himself…
Remember that Bale has only played 193 minutes with the white jersey this season. "These are the words of a person I have never met personally".
What I know is that this is not the thought that Bale has, Gareth Bale is a player who respects the Real Madrid fans. "This has come from a person that I do not know". Ancelotti commented.
David Alaba and Eden Hazard
Regarding the situation of the Belgian Hazard, after suffering gastroenteritis as his last mishap, he commented the following: "He has not had luck, the injuries have done him a lot of damage, but he wants to succeed in Madrid and will continue to try".
About Alaba he explained the following: "He still has a little discomfort in his knee, but his ligament is not affected. Tomorrow I will decide whether to play, I am not risking it".
