For me, its now all about getting players in a good consistant form, and have them rested and fit for the games.
Meaning likely we'd field the starting 11 the game before madrid, if allegri thinks the players fitness can handle it, and he'll rotate those who cant.
However, it most definatly means like today, when players have gone trough a big game, that you rest strained players. Its the match after thats causing the injuries.
In powerlifting, this is surprisingly simular. Before a big lift, you have several trainings that push the weight% up very high, for still some reps and sets, then you make a big lift. The first training after a prolonged period of overloading(high weights), is a much less heavy one.
