“Vinícius has to give enthusiasm to the people and titles to Real Madrid”
MADRID, 14 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, acknowledged being “on cloud nine” after beating FC Barcelona (4-1) this Sunday in the final of the Spanish Super Cup held in Riyadh, aware that he could fall at any moment but willing to “continue enjoying” the team and its good atmosphere.
“For us it was a final, we wanted to win, we won with merit. We started very well, we found Vinícius in an extraordinary moment and from there another game began. Barcelona handled the ball, it was difficult for us to recover it. Even 4-1 was an open match,” he said at a press conference.
The Italian coach highlighted the good atmosphere of his team and pointed out that they did not need any blows on the table. “The key is the environment that everyone is capable of generating. A serene, motivated environment, everyone has their role. We have done well so far, we have to be ready when danger arrives,” he stated, confirming Lunin, to the Cup, and Kepa, for the League on the weekend.
“We have confidence because of what we have done since the beginning of the season. We don't need a boost of confidence. We have it because we have a strong team and a very motivated atmosphere. It has been a resounding result, we have taken the lead very early, but “From 2-0 to 4-1 it was an open game. If we think it was an easy game for us, we are wrong,” he added.
On the other hand, Ancelotti praised Vinícius who shortly before at a press conference recognized the need to improve his character. “I have not removed Vinícius to avoid problems. It has been due to the physical wear and tear he has done, taking into account that he is coming from an injury. Vinícius has to do his job, as he did today, give people hope and titles to the Real Madrid,” he commented.
“Vinícius has done well in the Classics. Sometimes it is more difficult for him, because Araujo is a world-class defender. The ceiling is to enjoy, take advantage of this moment, be focused on what is coming, keep working, I like the atmosphere and work. A club that supports me, I am on cloud nine, taking into account that one can come down from the cloud, I never forget this. When I come down you will be there to wake me up,” he concluded.
