When you win a lot you think you are the most handsome, the best, and the sacrifice goes down a bit. That doesn’t happen here,” he added. Carletto.

Rodrygo He has all my trust because he deserves it. The competition with Asensio helps them both and also the team. You don’t need confidence and you’re going to get better. Wound, casemiro Y Kroos It is always the same. When they go down we suffer in the control of the match”, added Ancelotti, who added his first Spain Supercup with the Madrid.
