With less than a week until the Supercup Final versus Eintracht Frankfurt, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke with UEFA’s media outlets. The Italian coach began by stating that the players’ physical condition will be important in this opening game.
“While Eintracht’s season gets underway sooner, we have a few more disadvantages, but we’ll play to win. We gaze ahead rather than behind us. The successes from last year confirm our beliefs, but we must concentrate on the next games. Six titles will be up for grabs during the upcoming season, and we intend to compete for each one, he stated.
The German team, who won the UEFA Europa League title last season, was discussed by the Italian coach.
Because Eintracht wasn’t one of the favorites last year, they accomplished something unique. They won against Barcelona at Camp Nou by playing a counterattacking style of football, with a focus on defense and quick transitions, and they played wonderful games,” he continued.
Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni, who are expected to play significant roles this season even though they will likely sit out the forthcoming Final, were signed, and Ancelotti examined their signings.
“I think we have two players who rank among the greatest in the world for their respective positions. The team’s physical and technical proficiency is first and foremost improved by their quality. The need to fit in with the group and a slight adjustment by the group are the following issues.

The need to fit in with the group and a slight adjustment by the group are the following issues. The three players that left, Marcelo, Isco, and Bale, made recent club history, and the entire Real Madrid team is appreciative of what they accomplished.
We hope the newcomers can match the accomplishments of the departing players, the coach stated.
Ancelotti compared his two Champions League victories at Real Madrid as he concluded the interview.
“La Décima in 2014 was perhaps more predictable because the team had had come so close to attaining it so frequently. We had recently added Gareth Bale, and we were the early favorites to take home the championship. Even though we weren’t the favorites this year, we were still able to prevail because of the outstanding teamwork and talent on our squad. I believe that the elder players’ maturity and wisdom, together with the youthful vigor and excitement, were the decisive elements,” he said.
