Gerard Piqué has given an interview in #Vamos in the preview of the Spanish Super Cup, which begins this Wednesday with the great Classic between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The center-back has praised his rival, who considers that he is in great form. Also to several of his players, Vinicius and Benzema especially. However, he has equalized the forces compared to the League match and believes that they can hurt the rival from what they have known him in recent years.
The Madrid: “They maintain the base that has given them many successes in the past. In midfield, Casemiro, Kroos and Modric know each other very well and the performance they have given in recent years has been very high. Upstairs they have Benzema and Vinicius, who are at a superlative level both in goals and in play. Behind is a team that retreats well, that feels comfortable without the ball and that bases everything on Vinicius transitions or that the media associate so that it ends receiving Benzema. It is the same base from years ago, it is a team that we know very well, we know they have a high level, but we can hurt them. “
The first Classic of the season: “For me it was unfair that they took the three points at the Camp Nou. There was one of Dest with 0-0, which would have changed the game. The first time they arrived, they scored a goal. Emotionally we were not like now, we were more Touched. The forces have changed with respect to that match and we hope to take advantage of it. “
The moment of Barça: “In the situation we are in, each victory reinforces you a lot, and if we win the title, it gives you confidence for the next few months, it makes you grow as a team.”
New Super Cup: “The current format is more complicated, it gives everyone more options to win it, a single match with the semifinals, and more so in current football, as the participants are of a high level. They are two very even matches and work a lot, usually 50%. “
