Real Madrid hosts Schalke 04 at the Santiago Bernabeu with the reassurance of feeling the pass to the quarterfinals of the Champions League in his pocket after the first leg 0-2 and the need to regain confidence with a good game to end a identity crisis and lack of football.
The
elimination of Copa del Rey and the loss of lead in the League are getting
worse 2015 for each game they play Real Madrid. The loss of confidence in a
style that was unbeatable and led to the same players to a record of 22
consecutive wins now have made them vulnerable to any rival. Carlo Ancelotti
wants to end the crisis with a good game against Schalke to calm everything
before tackling the crucial league visit to Camp Nou.
The
poor results this year have coincided with injuries to key players. To receive
the Schlake returns a player whose size has grown in its absence, the Croatian
Luka Modric, who held four months after being injured, the last half hour of
the match. You will also have the German Sami Khedira minutes while around
Sergio Ramos will have to wait until Sunday League.
Ancelotti
sees no fatigue in the German Toni Kroos and decided to run the risk of
receiving a yellow that makes you miss the first leg of the quarterfinals. It
is apperceived, as the Brazilian Marcelo, which may itself have rest for entry
of Portuguese Fabio Coentrao. The fans at the Bernabeu never fails to a
European event and stage presented a grand entrance despite the outcome of the
round. Many judge the wrong time by spending their players. So far they have
drawn and Italian Ancelotti takes the fate of a technician.
Meanwhile,
Schalke reaches the match against Real Madrid without much hope and aware that,
unless an unlikely miracle, the only goal is to achieve an honorable disposal.
Meyer
was the star of that game, scored two goals, and tomorrow will surely be in the
field as a starter in place of the suspended Kevin Prince Boateng. That 3-1 at
Hoffenheim improved the mood at Schalke after the defeat against Real Madrid
and, especially, after the win 3-0 derby embedded in the Ruhr against Borussia
Dortmund after a month without a win.
