Real Madrid will have to face, quite possibly, the first of its two finals in five days (Celta and Chelsea) without Carlo Ancelotti on the bench. The Italian tested positive this Wednesday in a test, after detecting some symptoms related to the coronavirus, which have not yet subsided. Carletto not bad at all, but he will end his confinement until he tests negative.
The team will travel to Vigo this Friday to play the match on Saturday (6:30 p.m.) and, if there is no miraculous recovery, Ancelotti will hand over the reins to his son and assistant coach, Davide. The latest changes in Health regulations do not force us to wait for the technician’s negative to return to work, nor to keep confinement. However, the one from Reggiolo is clear that he will wait until he has the desired result.
Tranquility for London
Of course, his presence in the game against Chelsea on Wednesday (9:00 p.m.) is not in danger. The club believe their manager will be ready to travel to London and manage his boys from the Stamford Bridge sideline. In Vigo, Davide will have a new opportunity to demonstrate his skills at the head of the squad. It will be the first time that he does it in Madrid, although it is a situation that he has already experienced in the past: It premiered on November 2, 2019, when he was second to his father at Napoli and had to direct a match against Roma.
It will not be just another match, since it is the first after the severe correction in the Classic (0-4). It didn’t jeopardize the Whites’ lead, far from it, since they still have a nine-point advantage over Sevilla and twelve over Barça (although the Catalans have a match to play). However, A stumble against Celta would set off an alarm rather than leave off with Chelsea just around the corner and Sevilla, with Getafe as a bridging match, on the horizon. Ballot for Davide.
