For the Clasico, Carlo Ancelotti plans to exploit Barça’s high defense with Mbappé and Vinicius. With Real Madrid feeling confident, Ancelotti hopes his tactics will make the difference in taking the lead in La Liga.
On the eve of the long-awaited Clasico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, Saturday evening (9 p.m.) at the Bernabéu, Carlo Ancelotti developed a tactical plan targeting the Catalans’ high defense. Building on the spectacular comeback against Dortmund (5-2) this week, Real Madrid is counting on the speed of Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior to break through the opposing lines.
Ace recalls that Barça, under the direction of Hansi Flick, often uses high pressing, which leaves spaces to exploit. “Mbappé and Vinicius could take advantage of the boulevards to make a difference”underlines Ancelotti, who could also start Luka Modric for his passing precision.
A strategic Clasico at the Bernabeu
Real Madrid, unbeaten at home in the last four Clasicos, have a slight advantage playing at the Santiago Bernabeu. In addition to Modric, Bellingham and Valverde are expected in the eleven, with a final choice to be made between Camavinga and Tchouaméni to complete the midfielder.
The duel between Ancelotti and Flick promises to be a real chess game to seize first place in La Liga. Only three points separate the two teams.
