Gareth Bale and Xabi Alonso are working full out in Valdebebas to be
fighting fit for the big game in the Camp Nou, which, as was confirmed
last Monday, will be held this Saturday 26th at 6:00 pm.
After eight league and two Champions League games, Real Madrid seems
to still be having trouble getting out of first gear. Things aren't
turning out as expected, and some of the Real Madrid faithful are
beginning to question Ancelotti. "El Clásico", as the Real-Barça games
are called, will be the Italian manager's acid test.
His constant changes in the team's structure since the start of the
season have not gone down well with the Bernabéu higher-ups. To date he
has tried Khedira-Modric, Khedira-Illarra, Isco-Modric, Illarra-Modric,
Khedira-Modric-Isco and Khedira-Modric-Illarra in midfield. None have
convinced him. It is evident that 'Los Blancos' are in much need of
their midfield playmaker from last season, Xabi Alonso. The last game
Xabi played was in the Copa del Rey final against Atlético de Madrid
last May.
Gareth Bale, meanwhile, is getting himself ready for the big game at
the Camp Nou in two weeks' time. If Carlo Ancelotti, does finally have
him available for the big game, he will be treated with kid gloves, as
if the Welshman does make it on time, it will be a very close thing
indeed.
