Ancelotti will have a busy schedule for the season 2024/25.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has cleared out his plan for mid-season player breaks in the 2024/25 campaign. Los Blancos have a tough schedule this season. Due to their participation in the Club World Cup, they will have a busy campaign.
Los Blancos will appear in the UEFA Champions League. They will play FIFA Intercontinental Cup in December and an expanded FIFA Club World Cup next summer.
Real Madrid will kick off their La Liga campaign against Mallorca. Ancelotti said as per quotes from Marca, “We’re not thinking about 2025-26, it could start early because of the World Cup. The players need rest and holidays, we’re thinking about individual holidays for the players.”
“A player cannot play for a week and go to rest with his family, especially with internationals, they have very little rest. We’re evaluating it with the medical team in our physical preparation.
“For example, if Vinicius goes to Brazil to play two games, he’ll have four or five days off when he returns. It’s not that he won’t play in the next game, it’s that he won’t train, it’s the only way. He can do what he wants on those days, that’s what we’re going to do.”
Apart from club competitions, Real Madrid players will also take part in UEFA Nations League and FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The next scheduled international break comes at the start of September, with a host of Los Blancos players expected to join up for UEFA Nations League duty, plus FIFA World Cup qualifiers for South American teams.
