Head coach Blancos noted Shakhtar players who play for Ukrainians
Madrid head coach Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti said that the team will try to resolve the issue of reaching the playoffs ahead of schedule Champions League already in a match with miner.
“The players should recover well and we will evaluate their fatigue. Today’s workout will be important. Then I will put the right lineup to win. We have the opportunity, and we want to close the issue of entering the next round. It would be important.”
“Qualification in the group stage is the first goal of the season. The earlier the better. This will give you more energy for national competitions. But you have to remember that Real Madrid in the Champions League can’t think of not playing seriously. If we manage to qualify from the group on Tuesday, we will also play to win the next two matches.”
“Vinicius is one of the players that I have to evaluate. He played all the last games. Benzema is fine and he will start like Kroos and Mendy. They rested, refreshed and are going to play. Hazard can both play and miss the match, I will appreciate this with the coaching staff.
Courtois is much better and we spoke to him before leaving Madrid. He’s going to start training on Thursday to be ready by Sunday.”
“I spoke with Jovićević in the first match. They work hard. We stand in solidarity with Shakhtar and respect them very much. The desire to play with such difficulties means a lot to them. The players want to create a good image for the Ukrainian team and the people who are suffering.”
The match between Shakhtar and Real Madrid will take place in Warsaw on Tuesday, October 11. The meeting starts at 22:00 Kyiv time. The match will be judged by a team of referees from Israel headed by Orel Grinfeld.
