We'll Never Play A Game With Less Than 72-hour Rest, Says Real Madrid Coach Ancelotti
Coach Carlo Ancelotti: Coach Carlo Ancelotti has stated that Real Madrid will not play any matches if it is scheduled with less than 72 hours of rest between matches. He claimed Madrid had contacted La Liga twice about the scheduling issues but to no avail.
Madrid beat Villarreal 2-1 on Saturday, but the game kicked off just under 67 hours after Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 win over Atletico Madrid, which went to extra time and penalties.
"We held our own physically. In the second half, the team was exhausted, but that was normal. This victory speaks volumes about the team and the resources this squad has. This is the last time we'll play a game without 72 hours of rest. We will never play a game with less than that. We asked La Liga to change it twice and nothing happened," Ancelotti said in a post-match press conference.
