Manchester City and Real Madrid will face each other in the Champions League next Wednesday, the 17th, and Ancelotti has made a decision on his starting lineup
Before facing the manchester city in the semifinals of Champions LeagueO Real Madrid will have the Getafe ahead this Saturday, 13, at 4 pm (Brasília time). The confrontation between the two teams promises to be agitated, but Carlo Ancelotti made an important decision regarding the use of its starting lineup. The tendency is that some of the main meringues athletes do not enter the field in the next round of the La Liga.
With the Spanish Championship practically in the hands of Barcelona, Real Madrid is focused on securing qualification for the Champions League final. Next Wednesday, the 17th, at the Etihad Stadium, the Merengues will have the main game of the season and, therefore, Carlo Ancelotti does not want to risk losing his starting line-up during a La Liga match. This Friday, the 12th, in a press conference, the Italian confirmed that he will make changes, but will keep some athletes from the main team.
Courtois will play tomorrow (Saturday)… And Vini too. I don’t know if from the beginning, but he will play tomorrow. Of course I have to take everything into account, the players who don’t gamble and don’t take risks. The game demands a lot from us against a team that is fighting not to be relegated. We need freshness and energy“, he stated.
Carlo Ancelotti has been heavily criticized for resting players in La Liga and was asked about it at his press conference. The Real Madrid coach revealed that it is not possible to force all players to enter the field when they are not in the best physical condition. The idea is that everyone is well to face Manchester City in their best condition.
“No, I don’t understand. There are many teams that choose games, and this is not our case. I want to preserve the players who are tired, but whoever is fine will take the field. Tomorrow’s team will be very competitive. I can’t give the lineup now because I don’t want to give advantage to my friend José Bordalás”finished.
