The manager of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, believes that he has gotten a way out of the club’s poor form.
Note that after Ancelotti led Real Madrid to suffer a 4-0 defeat at the hands of FC Barcelona on October 26, the Italian tactician led the Spanish giants to lose 1-3 in the UEFA Champions League on November 5.
Their poor form in the Spanish La Liga has forced them down to the second place on the league table with 33 points in 12 league games, nine points below first place Barcelona.
Ahead of Real Madrid’s league game against Osasuna scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 9, Ancelotti suggested that his team is set for improved form.
“I think we found the solution. Now we have to show this on the pitch,” Ancelotti said on Friday, November 8.
“Sacrifice, focus and collective effort. This is the key.
“It’s a difficult moment for us but I’m happy to be here at the best club in the world.”
Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta has revealed that Declan Rice, who is one of the club’s most reliable midfielder, has not trained with his teammates ahead of their trip to Stamford Bridge.
This means that Rice who is currently battling a foot injury is likely to be sidelined when Arsenal take on Chelsea at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 10.
“Declan Rice has not trained yet and we still don’t know if he will be available against Chelsea”, Mikel Arteta said during the pre-match press conference on Friday, November 8.
