Ancelotti fears Figo’s prank in the historic castle
The giant Real Madrid faces a dangerous challenge at 10:30 pm today, Cairo time, when it hosts the stubborn Celta Vigo team at the historic castle of the royal “Santiago Bernabeu” Within the round of 16 matches of the Spanish King’s Cup competition.
Tonight’s confrontation will be of special importance to the club and its veteran Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti because it comes in the wake of the team’s resounding loss in the Super Cup a few days ago against rival Barcelona by five to two goals.
Ancelotti is afraid of surprising the Figo team, especially since they are a distinguished team filled with many good players and they are having a good season so far in the Spanish League. < /span>
Celta Vigo is in 12th place with 24 points, while Real Madrid comes in second place with 43 points, trailing its arch-neighbor Atletico Madrid, who leads La Liga, by a point.
Ancelotti had expressed his desire, in statements reported by Spanish media, to see a strong reaction from his players when he faces Celta Vigo after losing to Barcelona, alluding at the same time to the difficulty of the confrontation and the danger of the opponent.
