Madrid's footballers had to slightly change their usual rhythm - the Sunday Spanish championship match with Pamplona's "Osasuna" will take place at midday.
The league leaders are trying to increase the number of viewers in Asian markets with early matches, especially in China. In other countries, such as England or Italy, these measures are already in place.
So far, the first matches have been played between weaker teams, but now it has been decided to delight the fans with the favorite "Real" match.
For this, the capital team's coach Jose Mourinho has been preparing carefully - the players have been instructed to eat unusually hearty late breakfasts for several days, including pasta, rice, chicken, and fish. This was done to prepare the body for an unusually early physical exertion.
Normally in Spain, players have light breakfasts and return home to have lunch after intense training.
However, so far the experiment of early matches has not yielded results - the fans are slowly filling the stadiums, and the teams play half-asleep. Still, "Real" has sold all 85 thousand tickets to the "Santiago Bernabeu" and hopes for victory.
