Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach, brought together all his available players in a session without Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Jesús Vallejo and David Alaba, were absent on Thursday against Las Palmas due to injury, and prioritized tactical adjustments to seek an improvement in his team’s game in the two remaining days before the September break.

It’s still far from the level you want Ancelotti for his team the image shown by Real Madrid in the draw against Mallorca at Son Moix and the victory against Real Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. With three games in a week there is little room to correct tactical mistakes and the Italian coach made this a priority on Tuesday in the Valdebebas sports city.

Of the four injured, just where Jesus Vallejo soon to return to the dynamic group after the muscular overload that at the moment allows him to exercise alone, the Madrid team prepares the second league outing of the season, which it will do on Thursday with the visit of UD Las Palmas.

After starting in the gym, the tactical part of the work gained importance as the players worked out and put on their boots on the field of play with Ancelotti on command, before rehearsing pressure aspects to improve it and close matches on a small field.

‘Carletto’ regained Ferland Mendy at left back, once the Frenchman has served his one-match suspension for being sent off on day one, and must decide whether to introduce any rotation due to loading matches at a time of poor form for returning players after vacation.

In principle, Luka Modric or Brahim Díaz They have strong options to join the starting team in the middle of the field, and in front of the Madrid coach must assess whether to rest any member of the trident or keep them from the beginning so that they can gain momentum together and in thus improve their understanding.
