– Real Madrid faces a decisive period in its season, as it is playing a hard race on three fronts in the Spanish League, the Champions League, and the King’s Cup, in addition to the possibility of his participation in the World Cup for the new clubs this summer in the United States, which may raise the number of matches to 72 games this season.
According to the SA newspaper, despite his brilliance in the last Villarreal confrontation and winning a score (2-1), the team suffers from exhaustion due to the crowded matches, as the club complained of having to play less than 72 hours after Atletico Madrid faced in the Champions League.
This constant pressure raises the concern of coach Carlo Ancelotti, especially as the international stopping period will witness the departure of 16 players from the white team to represent their national teams.
The stoppage period will witness prominent names such as Courtois, Rudiger, Modric, Beellhamham, Vinicius, Mbappe and others, which will leave Ancelotti with only seven players for training in Valdibibas, among them the injured such as Mendi and Melitao.
These absences are a source of anxiety, especially with the high number of playing minutes that the main players have made, as Fedy Valverde tops his participation in more than 4232 minutes this season, making it the most vulnerable to stress.
While international matches represent an opportunity for some players, such as Guller and Modric, to get additional playing minutes, the risks are increasing on the stars of the team, especially with Real Madrid entering the last stage of the season, where strong confrontations are waiting for him after the international pause, most notably against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter -final, along with his struggle for the La Liga and Cup title.
After defeating Villarreal, Ancelotti said: “Fortunately, we were not suffered any major injuries, Asensio suffered from muscle stress, and Rudiger has a rest after a great effort, we are in a race against time, and the players need to rest, but they will now travel with their teams, and I do not know how to return.”
With the last months of the season approaching, Real Madrid enters a decisive battle that requires high physical fitness, but the FIFA may cast a shadow over the team at this critical stage, as Ancelotti will have to deal with fatigue and potential injuries, in its race towards titles.
