Carlo Ancelotti confirmed earlier the famous "BBC" will return against Rayo Vallecano. After one month's rest, Gareth Bale will return to the starting lineup against one of Real Madrid's neighbors. Nevertheless, the Italian boss did not reveal who will give up his spot on Saturday's starting eleven to make room for Bale.
"Isco and James have done a fantastic job, but this is the time of the season where we can rotate our team. I have not decided which one will have a chance to rest, and it's going to be like that with the rest of the players. We will continue rotating them until December, so everyone gets a chance to play," Ancelotti stated.
Regarding their opponents, the Italian refused to label Los Blancos as the favorite to win the match, since he believes Rayo can give them a hard time tomorrow.
"You have to respect a team that plays every game with the same idea. They are a team that is playing to avoid relegation, but they take on it with style and class, and you have to respect that. Rayo is the perfect example to describe Spanish football, and their hard work must be respected," Ancelotti added.
Real Madrid's coach will try to celebrate his first 500 days with Los Blancos with a victory, claiming this is one of the best squads he's had the privilege of coaching. Ancelotti also spoke about Spanish youngster Jesé, who will most likely be up for competitive action within the next month.
