In a press conference before the trip to Rayo Vallecano this Saturday (6:30 p.m.), Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti pointed out the weaknesses of his team, in particular the start of the Madrid match. “We are less well since the Spanish Super Cup (victory in the final on January 16 against Athletic Bilbao, 2-0). And it’s true, lately we’ve been much better in the second half but it’s not a physical problem. We talked about this problem among ourselves. And the game against Rayo Vallecano comes at the right time because they are one of the best teams in La Liga in the first thirty minutes. » explained the Italian technician.
The Madrid coach assured that he had worked throughout the week with his staff on the physical condition of his players and on the intensity. “We are in the process of combining technical work and physical work. I am convinced that we will improve on this second point. We are also trying to change our strategy, being more intense, more aggressive and pressing higher, detailed Ancelotti before adding, We have made good progress this week, I am optimistic. » Real, leaders of La Liga, will face PSG in the knockout stages of the Champions League on March 9.
