Real Madrid are once again vocal about the pressure of playing consecutive matches. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has become angry at having to play two important matches in just 72 hours. He has called such a schedule 'unreasonable and inhumane' and has directly threatened that his team will not play in such a short period of time in the future.
Real Madrid took to the field in La Liga before the end of the Champions League match. Despite winning 2-1 against Villarreal on Saturday night, the coach's anger did not seem to be suppressed. At the post-match press conference, Ancelotti said, 'Today is the last time we have played a match in 72 hours. If there is no break of at least 72 hours from now on, we will not take to the field.'
He also said that although the request to change the schedule was submitted to the La Liga authorities twice, no action was taken. 'We have asked again and again, but no one listened. This time we will not be silent,' said Ancelotti.
The stress of playing consecutive matches is not only a source of frustration for the coach, but also for the players. Recently, Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne expressed his anger by calling the players 'money machines'. Similarly, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and other stars have also expressed fatigue. Many are retiring from the national team early in search of rest.
