Soccer-Real Madrid will take the game to Man City says Ancelotti

By Fernando Kallas

MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid will go on the attack against Manchester City in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu on Wednesday as they bid to overturn a one-goal deficit after losing 4-3 in England, manager Carlo Ancelotti said.

Full back David Alaba is injured but midfielder Casemiro returns and, while there are question marks over the system and starting lineup, Real will use the aggressive approach that has delivered 11 goals in their last four Champions League matches.

"If we go back and try to defend with a low block, with 10 men on our box, City will have 99 shots on target. Sometimes you need to take risks and we were very successful this season when risking because we have a lot of quality up front," Ancelotti told a news conference on Tuesday.

"It will be clash of two very different teams. Two teams with different qualities, collective and individual. But we'll have home advantage and we'll be aggressive as always. We have a quality up front that gives us the luxury to be daring on offence.

"...the collective commitment will probably be what decides it. We need to improve from the first leg, moving better as a block. Being in a better position in defence, working as a unit and Casemiro's return is very important in that aspect," he said of the Brazilian who missed the first leg through injury.

Real come into the match on a high with the LaLiga title wrapped up at the weekend after Saturday's 2-0 home win over Espanyol when Ancelotti rested several players.

The Italian believes celebrating a title won almost a month before the end of the season, with four games to spare, after dominating the race was a major boost for the morale of players and fans looking
