Ancelotti Prepares a Surprise for Mallorca: “You’re Starting”
The season doesn’t stop, and after the highly demanding match seen at the Santiago Bernabéu last night, Carlo Ancelotti and his players are already gearing up for Saturday’s league encounter against RCD Mallorca.
This fixture is conditioned by the Champions League tie. After all, it falls in between, and both Carletto and the squad won’t forget that Wednesday is the second showdown against Pep Guardiola’s men.
For this reason, Carletto might field a starting eleven with a few rotations. In the first leg against City, he brought on Brahim Díaz in the final stages. Well, the Moroccan international could start at Son Moix. In fact, his coach has already made it clear to him: “You’re starting if everything goes normally these days.”
Now, the coaching staff’s big question is which players will rest ahead of the clash in Manchester. Bellingham, Vinicius, and Rodrygo Goes are the main candidates to do so.
Bellingham’s Performance has Dropped Jude Bellingham’s performance last night left something to be desired. The former Borussia Dortmund player seemed overwhelmed by the situation and also appeared tired, so he might start on the bench this Saturday.
Carletto has to try to get the best out of one of his star players again. It’s crucial to have his top form to attempt the feat in Manchester and progress to the next round.
