"We are thinking about giving in-season breaks, give a week off for a player so he can go and stay with his family, especially international players, who have very little rest because they usually don't get even a day's holiday in international breaks.After winning the LaLiga and Champions League double last season and now bidding for up to seven titles in the 2024-25 campaign, Ancelotti believes the club need to make sacrifices to preserve the health and fitness of their players.
"At the moment we still don't even know the date , same with the Intercontinental. We are bidding for seven titles but we still don't know when or how," Ancelotti said. "That's the only way. Normally those players train, even if they don't play. But we're going to take that away, let them do what they want on those days. That's what we're going to do."
