Before the Spanish Super Cup final tomorrow evening (8 p.m.) against FC Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti was present at a press conference. The opportunity for him to obviously return to the slap he received in the championship last October: “We have to think about what happened in the first game because they beat us. We had a pretty clear record, so we will have to repeat the good things we did and avoid the mistakes of the second half. A Clasico is still a Clasico, but a final puts a little more pressure. Every loss is a loss…the season continues. It’s a final and we are close to another title so we are thinking positively. The team has improved and no one can deny that, but a loss wouldn’t be good…but the team doesn’t go backwards, it keeps moving forward. Barcelona is a historic rival and the matches are always very competitive. It’s difficult for us and for them. The outcome of the match cannot be predicted. It’s a match that is not predictable. We are very clear about what we must do to avoid defeat, but the result is many things. What we can control is the performance in the match and I am convinced that tomorrow we will be very good” he said before returning to the offside trap imposed by the Catalans at Santiago Bernabéu: “This is an important aspect that we have looked at and we must counteract it. It’s something important.”
For Ancelotti, Real has “changed a lot”!
He then announced good news for Jude Bellingham, who will be present for this shock: “He’s doing well, he’s recovered well. An overload as usual. He is in a good dynamic, in this last period he made the difference. We arrived safely, with great enthusiasm. The problems we had against Mallorca have been resolved and all players are available. We have the same confidence as always in the final.”
Finally, he spoke about the possibility of a possible sextuplet at the end of the season: “We don’t think about it, we take into account that there is something special about summer. A World Cup in July when everyone is on vacation. I think it will be an entertaining tournament” he explained before concluding on the importance of tomorrow’s trophy: “This title has value because statistically the season in which we won the Super Cup went very well. When we didn’t win it, it didn’t go well. It’s a competition that gives you a lot more motivation and more dynamic to continue the season well.“
