Real Madrid vs. Espanyol Line -Up: Four changes from Ancelotti

The head coach of Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti will make at least four changes to his starting line -up when the La League leader competes against Espanyol in Cornella on Saturday evening.

At a premat press conference on Friday, on which he again hit the demanding calendar of football and spoke about the playing of Manchester City in the Champions League, Ancelotti was reminded that he wanted to “arrive in January”.

“We made it. We are better than then. We make a very good run with 12 wins in the last 14 games. We are very good in a good dynamic, but we want to continue, ”emphasized Ancelotti.

“The fact that there are so many matches means that everyone can be a trap. And what we don’t want is to return to go backwards. We score goals and the team looks solid … but every game can be a trap. We have to take that into account. And we can’t afford to go back; You always have to go forward, ”he added.

On Madrid in the RCDE stadium, an endangered espanyol awaits you, and Ancelotti confirmed that he was expecting a “complicated” game “as always” in Barcelona’s western suburbs.

“It is an important moment in La Liga for everyone, because the last route threatens. We are still quite far away, but when it approaches it, we start even more important – even more than that of the first few days. We have an advantage at the moment and want to keep it, “emphasized Ancelotti.
