Real Madrid officially asked La Liga to play the game vs Alaves on Saturday, instead of Sunday, so they can have more time to rest for the Arsenal game…
…La Liga said NO, reports La Ser.
Is this a sign that Real Madrid is being afraid of Arsenal or it should be a sign to Arsenal that Real Madrid is planning them seriously.
My concern is how Laliga outrightly said No in reply. If Real Madrid have that advantage, in the future many clubs in Laliga would want such a privilege and it would be a problem.
If I were Real Madrid, I would focus in Laliga. It would not be fine to lose against Alaves because of champions league they are not sure about.
It's not a sign that Madrid being afraid of Arsenal. They have faced the same situation many times, but it's pure their coach wanted his players to get more time to rest. However, i think having likely 4 days to take rest is enough.
I also agreed La liga did it right by
deniedrejected Madrid's request. it could give nuance they get a special privilege from La liga.
