Ancelotti: ‘The problem with football is the calendar’

Date:

«I don’t call the voters; they are the ones who call me,” assures the Italian coach, confirming that Benzema will start in his return against Osasuna

Carlo Ancelotti complained this Saturday about the tight international calendar that will force Real Madrid and the rest of the team competing in Europe to play nine games in 27 days, including the classic on October 16 at the Bernabeu, where the champion and leader of the League will receive Osasuna this Sunday. “The problem with football is the calendar. The institutions must work together to resolve this,” said the Italian coach, who revealed that unlike Xavi Hernández, he is not the one who calls the coaches to take care of their footballers.

“They call me. During the selection period, I don’t call the selectors. I speak to them beforehand to report physical conditions, but during the concentration I do not speak,” assured the Real Madrid coach, who because of the ‘FIFA virus’ Luka Modric has lost for the next few games, although the Croat will be available for the classic against Barca. »What he has is not very serious, but it is only for Wednesday (in the Champions League against Shakhtar). If not, it will arrive at the end of next week,” he guaranteed.

Ancelotti also confirmed that Karim Benzema will appear again this Sunday against Osasuna and will start. “Benzema is doing very well. The match is about to start. Karim is the usual one. We are going to talk about the usual Karim, who is spectacular. He has been working with the team all week. His physical condition is good because he has good recovered and then worked well,” admitting that this is “an important moment of the season for Madrid, with many games in a short space of time”.

Therefore, it is suggested to make rotations. “We play every three days. Everyone will bring their quality and commitment,” said Ancelotti. “The challenge is to do well in every game,” he added. “Let’s see how we manage the World Cup (it starts on November 20). Even until mid-January we don’t play with the World Cup players and we only play with the players who stay here in Valdebebas. I think we should give them a rest and then maybe a pre-season. Let’s see,” said the white coach.
