Live Bar, July 1st According to the Spanish media "AS", starting from July 8th, the Real Madrid team will return to the team in three different time periods. The first batch of 12 players will return to the team in three different time periods. Returning on July 8, four Brazilian players will return on July 10, and other international players will return four days later.
First of all, on July 8, it will be the turn of those international players who have not been called up by their national teams to participate in the UEFA Nations League or South American team friendly matches. However, some of them have delayed their return to the team due to physical problems. They need to play in a wonderful and crazy Get enough rest after the season, just like Courtois . Next week's first batch of players will feature two goalkeepers (Courtois and Lunin) and four defenders (Odriozola, Nacho, Vallejo and Mendy). , one special versatile player ( Vazquez ), three midfielders ( Kroos, Camavinga and Ceballos) and two center forwards ( Mariano and Bol Ha-Mayoral, who returned from loan spells at Roma and Getafe). In other words, Ancelotti will be able to use nearly 50% of the team's lineup from the first day, and they have all had a 37-day holiday.
Just two days later, on July 10 (next Sunday), four Brazilians (Militan, Casemiro , Rodrygo and Vinicius) will also return to Real Madrid's training base, because They play their last friendly match against the Brazilian national team on June 6 (against Japan), which guarantees them a 34-day holiday as well.
Finally, 10 players will face UEFA Nations League games until mid-June, which prevents them from appearing at Real Madrid's training base until July 14 (next Thursday). They are Modric , Hazard , Carvajal , Asensio , Alaba, Valverde , Benzema and Jovic , and The club has two players signed for next season: Germany's Rudiger and France's Joan Armene.
Real Madrid will usher in the national derby with Barcelona in Las Vegas , and there will be three friendly matches in the United States, including the game with Mexico America ( San Francisco , July 26) and the game against Juventus (Los Angeles, July 30).
In the upcoming new season, Ancelotti will lead Real Madrid to participate in the championship competition in six events: La Liga , Champions League , European Super Cup , Spanish Super Cup , Club World Cup and Copa del Rey . Ancelotti and fitness coach Pintus have arranged a high-intensity physical load preparation so that their players will be fully prepared when they face UEFA Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt in Helsinki on August 10. .
In addition, it should not be forgotten that there will be an atypical World Cup between November and December next season, which will force the team to change the usual player status curve. What Ancelotti and his coaching staff are most concerned about is how his stars will manage their form (at least half of his team will go to the World Cup) and, most importantly, how to prepare for the World Cup. After returning from mid-season, how will the players recover physically and mentally? In January with the season still to go, half his team might be overworked.
Regardless, Ancelotti will use these weeks of pre-season preparations to evaluate his three new players (Rudiger, Joan Armene and Mayoral), and he is aware of the club's There will no longer be any investment in transfers, it is time to carry out a "clearance operation" represented by Jovic, and if it is up to the Italian coach to make the decision, Mariano will also leave, he is not in Ancelotti's Within the plan.
