On By Littum

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti will make what seems to be seven staff or tactical changes to his team when facing Leganes in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Wednesday.

The FIXTUR is the first of three key meetings in eight days that Los Blancos will contest, with a La Liga Derby Showdown against Atletico Madrid on Saturday and Manchester City in a Champions League end game first leg bind next Tuesday, ending the rest of the package.

At a press conference in Prematch in the Spanish capital, Ancelotti said his team has to “prepare well and get to the next step in this competition” as it has been accused of not prioritizing in previous years of focusing on the league and Europe.

“(I) Other years Copa has given us a lot of joy,” Ancelotti added.

Madrid is, of course, damage that is ravaged that enters the business end of the campaign, with Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba, who both participate in the Militao on the sick list to leave their team without a senior center back.

“Rudiger’s injury weighs heavily. Not just from sets of pieces. Leganes is a team that defends very well. It has had good results against Barca and Atletico. This morning we trained that set in this sense, ”Ancelotti revealed.

Due to a lack of men in the heart of the back line, Ancelotti will have to take a point on a rookie pairing by Jacobo Ramon and 2024/2025 breakthrough star Raul Asenscio, who helps defend Andriy Lunin’s goal.

Right back, they have the same deficiency problems, which means midfielder Fat Valverde is there, but at least Ferland Mendy is a natural left back on the other flank when Fran Garcia is overlooked.

Dani Ceballos loses his place because Aurelien Tchouameni forms a double turn with Captain Luka Modric.

On the wings, Arda is getting a rare start, just like Brahim Diaz on the right. This is mainly because Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe are not available, as Ancelotti already confirmed.

Light then there is no room for Vinicius Jr. Due to striker Endrick, who collaborates with colleague Brazilian Rodrygo.
