Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has hailed the resilience of his team during a demanding match schedule, calling it “absurd and unsustainable.” Los Blancos has remained strong despite being hit with heavy match congestion, securing trophies with wins in the Intercontinental Cup and the European Super Cup. Ancelotti has admitted to the difficulties but maintained that his players are committed to playing on all fronts.
Madrid’s congested schedule features vital La Liga battles, Champions League knockout matches, and domestic cup games, stretching the team to its physical limits. Injuries to top players have compounded the pressure, but Ancelotti is upbeat. “The workload on players nowadays is enormous, but this squad has a wonderful mentality. We continue to win in spite of the difficulties,” he said.
The Italian strategist demanded improved scheduling to safeguard players against burnout, a call others among the sport’s top administrators have made as well. “Football at this level needs some recovery time. The authorities have to rethink the workload,” he appealed. Nonetheless, Madrid’s depth, whereby stars such as Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr., and Federico Valverde were called upon to deliver, kept them competitive in all competitions.
With the La Liga title battle intensifying and the Champions League underway, Ancelotti will be keen to maintain Madrid at the pinnacle. The fans will be praying that the determination and quality of the squad can overcome the physical strain of their hectic schedule. As the campaign unfolds, everyone will be watching how Real Madrid manage their quest for more glory.
