Carlo Ancelotti sHe knew that the Kiev game was vital for him and Real Madrid. After three games without winning, the white team had to win yes or yes to Shakhtar to ward off ghosts. Against this background, Ancelotti opted for the old known in the center of the field. Or what is the same, for Casemiro, Kroos and Modric, the titular and undisputed trio in recent years of Real Madrid that won three Champions in a row.
Until the Kiev duel, Ancelotti could not bring these three men together due to the injury of Kroos, a pubalgia, and the trio showed in the Kiev Olympic that they continue to be essential in this Real Madrid. With them, the white team gained control of the ball and defensive security. Lost the potency of Valverde or Camavinga, but before the ‘final’ in Kiev, Ancelotti preferred to bet on control of the power.
After the game. the Real Madrid coach did not hesitate to praise these three players. He began by talking about Kroos to say that “he has a clear and fine pass, he’s not afraid to get out of the pressure” and ended up surrendering to the trio of midfielders: “I don’t have to talk about these three players who have won everything that can be won and that they continue to have commitment. I just have to applaud them, and nothing more. “
In the Camp Nou Classic, everything indicates that Ancelotti will bet on them again for the Real Madrid midfield.
