Minera are tiny: they have been within the seventh tier in 1980, haven’t been greater than the third tier ever and are eighth of their desk, hardly among the many mightiest even at their very own respective standing.

Even with alterations, rotations, kids getting an opportunity and people out of favour being handed minutes within the crew, Ancelotti should certainly really feel his aspect can have an excessive amount of, technically and bodily, for a crew who’ve by no means performed even close to the extent of Los Blancos. Given they confronted Valencia three days earlier than and Mallorca within the Supercopa – with the journey that includes – three days later, there’s even much less cause to suspect Ancelotti will go wherever close to full energy.

Minera’s best-known participant – relative time period right here, maybe – is probably going Arturo Rodríguez, who spent a short interval with Dundee a number of years in the past after enjoying at Cordoba.

Key participant

As a global of some pedigree already, if Arda Güler is given the nod to start out he’s an apparent star who might be leagues past something Minera have seen or can address. Even he may not play in reality, relying on how Ancelotti manages gamers’ minutes, however in 600 LaLiga minutes solely, he’s averaging 1.25 pictures per 90, 2.67 possibilities created and 74 touches of the ball.
