The coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, gave an interview to “realmadridtv” a few days before the European Super Cup final against Atalanta. On August 14, in Warsaw, his Real will seek another trophy. In addition to the Super Cup, the Italian also spoke about Real’s newest arrival, Kylian Mbappe, and about the future of “Los Blancos”, predicting a long-term dominance of Madrid.
REAL – “We all know who Real Madrid is and what this club represents. Here in Madrid it is always a challenge. I’m on the good side, in a big club, in a big team with big players.”
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – “My relationship with the Champions League is special, it is spectacular. It has given me a lot of pleasure. It’s given me a lot of success, definitely, and a little bit of frustration. As they say, you can’t win everything, but the truth is that the Champions League has given me more than I have given it.”
EUROPEAN SUPER CUP – “It will be complicated, as always, because it’s the beginning of the season, the players have had a little time to prepare for this match and they don’t have the 90 minutes under their feet. But we are Real Madrid and we go with all faith and conviction, considering the difficulty. I think Atalanta deserve to be in this final because they made a great journey in the Europa League. They are a team that we respect a lot, but we hope to do as well as possible and return with the trophy to Madrid.”
MBAPPE
“First of all, Chile will bring his quality, in addition to his character and seriousness. In Madrid everyone is very happy that he is here. I believe the same goes for him. The fans, the club, the players, his teammates, we are all very pleased that he is here, we are sure that he will do very well and give us an extra hand in achieving the objectives we have.”
GYLER AND ENDRIK – “They are both players that I like. The reason is simple and I am not stopping at the technical and physical abilities of both. What I like is that they want to learn and they learn fast. Both are very attentive to instructions, want to grow and improve. These are the basics for every footballer who wants to become somebody”.
YOUNGSTERS – “It’s surprising actually to think that Vinicius is not considered a youngster, that Rodrigo is not considered a youngster, that Bellingam is not considered a youngster, Kamavinga as well. We have a young team with a lot of future. It depends on them, on their ability to come together as a group and build a strong group.”
