Real Madrid are gearing up for another weekend battle in La Liga as this Saturday they will be facing up against Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernebau.

Knowing that his side will be facing a tough task, Ancelotti is asking for more intensity from Madrid players along with adding more pressing play at the back.

The Italian head coach doesn’t have too much concern though with Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence as he believes it can actually be good for the Portuguese as he got himself some time off.

Ancelotti’s calmness with Ronaldo’s absence due to a ban, was simply because he will return for Madrid’s upcoming tough battle against city rival, Atletico Madrid.
