Reorganize! Marca: Real Madrid cancels some of its main players rest this Champions League away trip is a test

September 29th, the "Maca" wrote an article saying that after the Madrid derby was defeated, Real Madrid flew to Almaty, Kazakhstan, and the journey faced many difficulties.

When the Champions League draw was announced, the schedule for Almaty, Kazakhstan was "marked with a red pen" within the club, which was regarded as the biggest challenge. This journey not only requires about eight hours of flight and three hours of time difference adjustment, but also adapts to local altitude and dry climates.

What's worse is that this expedition coincides with the team's low point. Real Madrid just lost 2-5 in the same city derby, and their morale was severely damaged, which escalated the original logistical challenge to a psychological test.

It is reported that head coach Xavi Alonso changed the original plan of some of the main players to rest and brought all available players to ensure that he could score three points from this tough battle and reverse the decline.
