Carlo Ancelotti is hoping his side can perform well against Barcelona and make it five straight El Clasico wins.
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is expecting a superb performance when he takes on Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday. After the Italian coach led Los Blancos to victory in their previous four El Clasico games, Diario AS reported on Friday UFABET
‘The team played well, they were motivated. El Clasico is a very intense and hard-fought game. But also fun. We want to do well in front of our fans.’
‘Barcelona have a very clear approach to the game. They are doing very well, they are a very brave team, we have to prepare well and try to play our best.’ the Italian coach said.
Real Madrid opted for a three-centre system in their 2-1 win at Celta Vigo last week. A change that surprised many and showed they still have a trick up their sleeves ahead of the first El Clasico of the season.
‘I have something on my mind. It doesn’t seem right to explain it to you today. You have to look at it tomorrow and tell me if I’m wrong.’
Ancelotti also spoke about two senior players, Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric. And Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, 36, who are still performing at a very high level.
‘They are both great professionals, with great determination and passion for playing football. There is no secret to their age and seniority.’
