Real Madrid's match schedule has been quite tight lately so Ancelotti must be able to place better tactics in terms of rotating players even though Real Madrid must use their main players during the Madrid derby this weekend but Ancelotti is expected to be able to read his team's situation very well so that all his main players can be fit enough when facing Manchester City in the Champions League play-off match this season. Because both matches are quite important matches for Real Madrid so Ancelotti must have a way to make a more perfect rotation for each of his players.
I hope that Real Madrid should be able to get a win in the Madrid derby this week, and also beat Manchestter City in the Champions league match, looking at Man City I think they can get a win against Man City who are not in good shape, but Man City will also do hard work to get a win because they are also not in a safe condition, it will be difficult because their time is close together so it is very important that there are no games that bring injuries to Real Madrid players so that they can go through these two matches perfectly and Real Madrid can get a win.
It is difficult to predict whether Real Madrid will be able to overcome the next two important matches, against Atletico Madrid in La Liga and Manchester City in the Champions League. The top of the La Liga standings and a ticket to the last 16 of the Champions League are at stake, with the squad currently lacking rotation options, especially the defense line, I think the expected victory is a little difficult to achieve. Real Madrid are certainly very used to facing pressure, but this time Ancelotti looks a little worried.
The tight match schedule is a problem for almost all big clubs, because they play in many competitions and often send their players to strengthen their respective national teams. As a result, players are quite prone to injury, Real Madrid felt this this season. Ancelotti may regret a little for not recruiting new players in the January transfer window yesterday, the management should have been able to take advantage of the opportunity well, at least recruiting a center back.
