Real Madrid's coach Carlo Ancelotti criticized LaLiga's scheduling after a tight turnaround led to concerns over player fatigue. Following a late Champions League match and a subsequent league game just days later, Ancelotti stated that future matchups would require a minimum 72 hours rest. LaLiga president Javier Tebas responded, asserting that LaLiga had initially scheduled a later kickoff to afford more rest but changes were requested by Real Madrid. The tension highlights ongoing conflicts regarding player welfare and scheduling rights.
LaLiga had scheduled the next match with Leganés on Saturday at 4:15 p.m. CET, to give you more rest... But [Emilio] asked to change it to 9 p.m.
I think today is the last time that we'll play a game earlier than 72 hours... We asked LaLiga to change the time of the game twice, and they didn’t do anything.
