Real Madrid coach Ancelotti explains lack of squad rotation | OneFootball

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is wary facing Real Sociedad.

He stated that his sole focus right now is on the dangers that Real Sociedad will pose and not on the upcoming Inter or Atletico Madrid matches.

"The Inter and Atletico matches aren't more important, the most important game is this one against a team who play really well and have a lot of quality," the Italian said.

"I'm excited about this test. We'll go out to try to win, as we always do."

Ancelotti defended his lack of rotation and insisted that he'll play Casemiro if he thinks that is the best thing for the team, despite the Brazilian being one booking away from a suspension.

"If Casemiro plays and gets booked and misses the Atletico game then that's fine," Ancelotti said.

"I looked at the stats [regarding rotation] and the only time this season we played with the same line-up two matches in a row was Shakhtar Donetsk and then Barcelona.

"We've always made some changes.

"There's no alarm over the physical condition of the players, who we evaluate after every match. The squad is in good condition."
