Carlo Ancelotti continues to complain about La Liga’s fixture schedule not taking into account the health of its players.
Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti continued to speak about Real Madrid’s schedule, which played with less rest time than their opponents, even though they should have arranged to play on Sunday like two rivals, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, after the ‘Los Blancos’ team won 2-1 at Villarreal to overtake them as the leader of La Liga again.
‘In the end, we played when we had สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น to play, we didn’t want to make excuses. I’m happy to speak and say we didn’t lose, even without the break. It’s not normal to play 120 minutes on a Wednesday, shootouts, tired and we have to play at 6.30pm. I understand that La Liga doesn’t like the top three teams playing on the same day, but sometimes it’s necessary. The Premier League has done it many times. ‘
‘I think it’s because of the lack of respect for our team, it’s possible that we come out with injuries because of lack of rest. You can play on Sunday, a great Sunday, like in England, when Real Madrid play first, then Atletico and Barcelona. It’s good to watch on TV, but sometimes you have to focus on other things,’ Ancelotti lamented.
Thibaut Courtois added: ‘It was good. I think we didn’t start the game the best we could but it’s normal because we had a little rest. It was difficult for the legs but we reacted well, we equalised and then we came back quickly and defended well. We worked very hard, the players were very tired and you can see the work and commitment of the team. Villarreal is in fifth place, they played well. It’s always a difficult stadium. They are three very important points. ‘
