(ANSA) – ROME, 11 DEC – On the eve of the Madrid derby, the appointment will be renewed tomorrow evening at 21, in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, there is only one key to interpreting the match: the ‘Blancos’ have the opportunity to delivering the knockout blow to the Spanish champions, making them sink to -13 points in the La Liga standings (after only 17 days); the ‘colchoneros’ must win at all costs, to remain attached to the hope of a possible future re-engagement.
For Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the leaders Real, tomorrow there will be only “three points up for grabs, the emotional aspect of playing a derby against a direct rival, comes later”. “It is clear that this will put more pressure on both teams, all the fans feel this match in a particular way but, for the La Liga standings, there are three points. We will play to win them.”
At Real Madrid there is a doubt related to the availability of the French center forward Karim Benzema that Ancelotti immediately dissolves at the press conference: “He trained well, he has good sensations and I think he will be available. We all trained, apart from Ceballos. which will only be available next week. I want to have the whole squad ready and, if it is at this point of the season, it means that the medical and athletic staff are doing a great job. Simeone? All the coaches would like what happened to him : stay in a club for a long time and make your mark “. (HANDLE).
