Ancelotti’s four tests to complete the Anfield suit | Relief

Continuous session. Just like in the cinemas of the last century. First film at 15:00: Southampton-Liverpool. At 18:30 second entry: Leganes – Real Madrid. Sessions before the big premiere on Wednesday at Anfield: Liverpool – Real Madrid. Both Arne Slot, the Reds’ coach, and Carlo Ancelotti, the Whites’ coach, planned the final rehearsals with the Champions League clash in mind. and under this influence they organized their eleven groups. This was inevitable, even if the circumstances and needs of each team were different.

The domestic points were vital, but the European ones would be equally important. They both won. Liverpool suffered more due to their bad head and the fact that they started thinking about Madrid too early. In the end, he returned to Salah, one of the few unique footballers who continues to take to the football field.

For their part, the Whites faced Butark against one of the weakest opponents they have faced this season. The Dutchman, fresh from the Mersey pool, reserved McCallister and Luis Diaz but ended up turning to them as a win eluded him, which seemed like a given at the bottom of the Premier League, but it wasn’t.

The Italian, who had long since settled in Madrid, had much more iron. He has also reserved the figures that look like Wednesday’s headlines: Mendy and Modric. But at the same time, he tried to resolve the doubts that tormented him somewhat. It was about trying on the suit he wants to wear at Anfield. He wanted to know first-hand how Mbappe fared on the left wing, his favorite player. How Vinicius could theoretically become a central striker. How Valverde adapted to the right-back position, which was not strange, and finally how Asensio demonstrated his ability to play at the elite level alongside Rudiger.

After the match, Ancelotti blessed the whole ordeal. Four. The Anfield suit is ready to use. The normal thing is that he repeats the same thing with these four players in the same positions. The exchange of positions between Mbappe and Vinicius is due to the right-back position at Liverpool. WITH Alexander-Arnold at the recovery stage its presence is unsafe. He plays or does it Bradleythis defensive zone is the most vulnerable among the Premier League and Champions League leaders. Both players’ offensive calling punishes them on defense. They go up, but don’t go down. This is where the Frenchman should appear, behind him. And diagonally inwards he will meet his teammate Konate.

Carlo is convinced that Valverde is absolutely capable of ending Luis Diaz, the Liverpool striker who worries him the most. That doesn’t mean Salah’s great formative moment went unnoticed. What happens is that he has full confidence in Mendy, whom he left in Butarque in favor of Fran Garcia. The rest of Anfield’s eleven players? Put Modric instead of Ceballos and Brahim instead of Guler.

Lucas appears to have recovered and arrives, but not in the starting lineup. The situation with Chuameni is more complicated, although we already know that in Real Madrid the medical picture can change in 24 hours and almost always for the better.
