March, a decisive month for Real

It is not a particularly busy month as having the league break for the national teams on the last weekend makes it easier, but it will be decisive for Real. The month of March gives the team from Gipuzkoa the opportunity to straighten their trajectory in the League and, of course, to advance in Europe and feed the dream of reaching the final in Budapest on May 31. Cádiz and Elche at home and Mallorca away will take the closest panorama of the league and the tie against Roma on the 9th and 16th will surely mark the third month of the year for txuri urdin. So that the month of April does not steal from us, as Sabina sings, it is necessary to continue the course of the game and results in March.

Starting this coming Friday, the 3rd, Real will play five games in just 17 days. Over the past few years, and without even walking last fall, he has gotten used to this ferocious pace, which he wants to maintain until the end of the season. From the match against Elche in Anoeta on the 19th until the weekend of April 1 and 2, when Villarreal is measured at the Estadio de la Cerámica, there is no official match. Two weeks to rest.

If they beat Roma, Real must play the quarterfinals on April 13 and 20. The draw will take place on March 17.

Two days more than Rome

To start the new rally of matches, Real has the initial advantage. He managed to get the league match against Cádiz brought to Friday, so he will have six days to prepare for the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 against Roma at the Eternal City Olympic Stadium. The rivals, Mourinho’s team, have two less days to prepare for that clash, as they face Juventus in Turin on Sunday the 5th (8:45 pm).

Following this, both Real and Juventus play their league matches on Sunday 12th, San Sebastian against Mallorca on the island and the Romans against Sassuolo at home. From there, they will once again enjoy four days to rest and prepare hard for the second leg in Anoeta, on Thursday 16th at 9:00 pm

Real have been preparing their league matches for a few weeks with an eye on a doubleheader against Roma in a few weeks. The dose of minutes of decisive players and the delay in the inclusion of the injured of capital importance, such as David Silvacan be justified by that factor.
