Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his frustration with Laliga and claims that it is “impossible to compete on equal conditions” with Barça and Atleti.
Real Madrid is furious that Laliga has planned their match against Villarreal on MatchDay 28 at 6.30 pm local time (12.30 pm et) on Saturday 15 March, making them a considerable disadvantage in the title race in Spain.
Less Rest for Real Madrid Na Champions League Derby
With the fight for crowned crowned champions that come closer to his conclusion, Los Blancos are stunned by Laliga's decision to give them a rest day less compared to Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, who meet each other in the Metropolitano on Sunday 16 March at 9: 00 PM Spanish time (3:00 pm et).
The issue is exacerbated by a crucial Champions League match between the Madrid rivals, only four days earlier at Atlético's home field on Wednesday 12 March. That is the second stage of the round of 16 matchup, so Madrid or Atleti will have been beaten out of the competition, which contributes to the physical and mental toll of a high -effort game.
Due to LaLiga's planning, the Ancelotti team goes to Villarreal with just two days of rest after the debilitating European match, and moreover they play at 6.30 pm (12.30 pm et), forcing them to wake up to wake up early catch a flight and arrive on time for a meal of 13:00 (7:00 am) to digest well for the competition. An unnecessary discomfort.
Ancelotti attacks Laliga
“We wonder why they have not planned the match, which is a very demanding road against a strong team such as Marcelin's Villarreal, for Sunday at 6.30 pm (12.30 pm et). Then they say we are paranoid. They don't give us a break. In this way it is impossible to compete on equal conditions, “Ancelotti said about a press conference prior to the Copa del Rey and and the final of Wednesday in Wednesday against Real Sociead.
“Given the absurd schedule we have, we are doing very well. In 52 days we are back to when I was playing, because it was 17 games at the time. Incredible. I'm tired and you're tired. You need rest. We need rest … “he added. Clearly as a day.
