The head coach of Real Madrid spoke about the tasks he set for the team for the Champions League match.
Real are set to win the match against Shakhtar in Warsaw. This was announced at the pre-match press conference by Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. According to the Italian specialist, three points in this match are very important, because they will allow an early exit from the group stage of the Champions League.
“The players should recover properly, we will check their fatigue. I will put the right lineup to win. We have a chance to reach the playoffs, so we want to resolve this issue. It is important.
Getting out of the group is the first goal of the season. The sooner the better. It will give you more energy for the inner competition. But you have to remember that Real Madrid in the Champions League is unthinkable not to play seriously. If we qualify from the group on Tuesday, we will also play to win the next two matches.
Vinicius is one of those players that I have to check. He played in all the last games. Benzema is fine and will start like Kroos and Mendy. They are rested, fresh and ready to play. Hazard can play and miss the match, I will appreciate it with the coaching staff.
Courtoi is much better and we spoke to him before leaving Madrid. He will start training on Thursday to be ready on Sunday.
I spoke to Jovićević in the first match. They work with great difficulty. We stand in solidarity with Shakhtar and have the utmost respect for them. The desire to play despite such difficulties is very important to them. The players want to create a good image for the Ukrainian team and the people who are suffering,” Ancelotti quoted Real Madrid’s official website as saying.
It will be remembered that the match in the fourth round of the group stage of the Champions League Shakhtar – Real Madrid will be held today, October 11, in Warsaw. The starting whistle for the match will sound at 22:00 Kyiv time.
