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.
That is not a sign of being afraid of Arsenal rather the reason given there are valid which is more time to rest and prepare for the Arsenal match. I know the answer would be a no which was what they received because the La Liga matches were already fixed before the champions league matches so you cannot adjust the match for ordinary reason like that since they club is expected to have reserve players that can cover their key players in case they need more time to rest. Real Madrid is in a situation where proper management is needed to being able to play both matches and get good results although the champions league is looking like a lost battle.
