Agen Bola (http://cityholidaybet.com/) Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Carlo Ancelotti conceded after Monday's laboured victory over Cordoba that neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Real Madrid are in "optimum condition" as of yet.
Just three days after losing the second leg of their Supercopa de Espana clash with city rivas Atletico, Los Blancos kicked off their Liga campaign with a lacklustre 2-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Karim Benzema opened the scoring on the half-hour mark before Ronaldo secured all three points with a long-distance drive right at the death, but Ancelotti admitted afterwards that the Portugal international is still working his way back to full match fitness - just like the rest of his team-mates.
"He�s not in optimum condition; but we aren�t yet," the Italian coach told reporters. "We�ve been working on the aerobic performance. We need more rhythm.
"There was some tiredness because we�ve played every three days since August 12 and it�s not easy to play every three days in the pre-season."
