Real Madrid are preparing to face Celta Vigo tonight in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n
The Real Madrid players return home this week after the events of the Spanish Super Cup final at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.<\/p>\n
The team was deeply affected by the defeat against Barcelona in Saudi Arabia, and now they are eager to return to winning ways and restore positive feelings.
\nAccording to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” there has been much discussion in recent days about Aurelien Tchouameni, who was involved in several goals scored by Hansi Flick’s team last Sunday.<\/p>\n
“We have an important opportunity to bounce back from a difficult game, one that hurt us a lot. But we are not discouraged; we want to respond. This match against a well-organized opponent suits us. We hope the team can react well after the poor performance the other day,” explained Carlo Ancelotti, who has consistently praised the French midfielder.<\/p>\n
The Italian also spoke about Marco Asensio and his lack of playing time, admitting that he has experimented with him on the right side.
\nApart from these tests, the reality is that the coaching staff will rely on Asensio in the central position against Celta Vigo.<\/p>\n
Carlo Ancelotti spoke with Asensio and confirmed that he will start the match tonight, to provide the team with a breath of fresh air.
\nThis decision also aims to protect Aurelien Tchouameni, as the Italian coach seeks to shield the Frenchman from potential boos, knowing that Real Madrid fans are very upset with the players following the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
