After a positive start of season, the low hours of the Real Madrid seem to have arrived. The trip in front of the Villarreal and the sounded defeat against the Sheriff in Santiago Bernabéu, the team directed by Carlo Ancelotti encara the party in front of the Espanyol of the next Sunday (16.15 hours, Movistar LaLiga) with the aim to win and convince to keep in the peak of LaLiga before the stop of selections.

Ancelotti, that knows that it needs to do rotations to avoid squeeze to his more important men, finds in a crossing of face to the duel in the RCDE Stadium, to the that several players arrive with an important wear accumulated and with the obligation to do an extra effort before answering to the called of his combined national.

This is the case of Eder Militao and Karim Benzema, two of the players of field more used by the Italian technician. The central Brazilian has contested all the minutes at stake (810) in the nine parties that has contested up to now the Madrid from the start of campaign, whereas Benzema only has had 12 minutes of rest.

The influence of the French forward in the game and in the results (sum 9 goals and five assistances), added to the toneless level of his acting theorists Jovic and Mariano, force to Ancelotti to be followed squeezing it. The 'cat' could have had more rest in front of the Sheriff in the second day of Champions, but the meeting complicated him so much to the Madrid that the technician did not have another option that keep it in field to try give turn to the result.

Everything seems to aim to that the Frenchman will chain in front of the Espanyol his tenth titularity this previous campaign to put course to Clairefontaine to concentrate with his selection. Karim, that during five years remained in the Spanish capital during the international stops, will have to learn to dosificarse in this new stage.

By his part, Militao also aims to the eleven initial in Cornellà-The Prat to form couple in the axis of the saga beside David Praises, that only lost the commitment in front of the Celtic of Vigo because of presenting some muscular annoyances.

Players with wear

Another of the most used pieces this campaign by Ancelotti has been Vinicius. The extreme carioca began of acting the two first days of LaLiga in front of Alavés and Raise, but from the commitment in front of the Real Betis in the Villamarín has been headline in all the meetings. In the last five crashes in front of Inter, Valencia, Mallorca, Villarreal and Sheriff has contested all the minutes.

In front of the Espanyol, Ancelotti could give him something of rest and bet by other footballers for alignment title like Asensio, Lucas and Rodrygo, being this last the player more entonado and with more capacity of disequilibrium going out from the bench.
