Elche Prepares for Real Madrid Clash Amidst Israeli Player's Potential Role

Elche is gearing up for a significant match against Real Madrid on Tuesday, a challenging fixture for the team currently struggling at 19th place in the league with only two points and no wins. Real Madrid sits in 12th place.

Elche's coach, Martin Anselmi, emphasized his strategy for the game, stating he would not necessarily field only experienced players. "This is how you gain experience," he remarked, focusing on selecting the best lineup based on current form and managing player fatigue, especially given their disadvantage in rest days compared to Real Madrid.

Anselmi outlined his approach to facing Real Madrid, highlighting ball possession as the primary defensive tactic. "The best way to defend against Real Madrid is with the ball at our feet," he said. He acknowledged the threat posed by Real Madrid's star players, noting that even if they neutralize Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe, other players are capable of scoring.

Israeli player Roi Rebibo is expected to play a role in the match. He recently completed 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw against Bilbao and played nine minutes against Real Sociedad. Rebibo is anticipated to be tasked with marking either Brahim Diaz or Jan Diumande during the game against Real Madrid.
