Club football has made its return after yet another challenging two-week international break. During this period, many players had to contend with a demanding schedule. Thus, leading to several serious injuries and a general sense of fatigue. Real Madrid had a stroke of good luck, with none of their players on international duty sustaining injuries during the two-week break. Although Dani Ceballos experienced a training-related knock, it has been a non-serious issue.
Therefore, Real Madrid will expect to have almost their entire first-team squad fully fit. Thus, they are eager for their upcoming match against Sevilla this weekend.
Ancelotti said: “The players are fine. The South American players have recovered well.”
“Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde are fresh and ready to start tomorrow. They’re also ready to play 90 minutes.”
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti talks about Ramos and more
The upcoming showdown against Sevilla holds particular significance as Real Madrid will encounter arguably their most legendary captain ever, Sergio Ramos. Ramos made a noteworthy move to Sevilla during the summer transfer window as a free agent.
Carlo said: “I’m delighted to see Sergio Ramos again. If I’m here it’s because of him and his goal in the Lisbon final. He’s special to me. We all love him.”
In a recent statement, Real Madrid player Rodrygo expressed his reluctance to play as a striker. Thus, citing concerns about how it restricts his ability to handle the ball. However, according to Ancelotti, there are situations where compromise is necessary, similar to the case of Eduardo Camavinga.
“Sometimes, some have to sacrifice themselves for the demands of the team like Camavinga or Tchouaméni.”
“My idea is the requirement of the team and then the individual. No one has told me that he can’t play in the position I tell him. I once put Ramos on the pivot, he didn’t like it, but they were the demands of the team. This is a very well-defined word, it’s called altruism.”
