After winning their sixth UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, Real Madrid turned their attention to La Liga. The reigning champions will begin this Sunday with a trip to Son Moix, where they will face Mallorca.
Carlo Ancelotti is under no illusions about the task ahead of his star-studded squad, as he stated in his pre-match press conference (via Diario AS). The championship starts and our goal is to retain the title. Another coach has arrived there, he is an expert and very competent. We will have to fight to win the match.”
Ancelotti also confirmed he could make changes to the side that beat Atalanta, with just four days between the two games. “I have to evaluate tomorrow’s team, maybe there will be changes, maybe not.”
One last recruit this summer?
On several occasions in recent weeks, Ancelotti has said that Real Madrid will not do any more business in the transfer market this summer. He reiterated this on Saturday, saying he is prepared to trust young players if necessary. The squad is closed, we just have to wait for the market to close. We have extraordinary talents and we can compete for everything. We believe that Alaba will return soon and we have young players who can play. We were unlucky with Joan’s injury. (Raul) Asencio and Jacobo (Ramon) can contribute.
