In the early hours of August 15th, after winning the UEFA Super Cup, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about his feelings about leading Real Madrid to their 14th trophy, a feat that tied him with legendary coach Miguel Muñoz as the most successful manager in Real Madrid’s history. Ancelotti said: “It’s an honor and a privilege for me to be a part of such a night.”
Speaking about Atalanta’s strong performance in the first half, Ancelotti described the match as “going to the dentist” – “We were very uncomfortable at the start, as the team couldn’t control the game according to our intentions… Atalanta is a disciplined and well-organized team.”
On Mbappé’s debut goal for Real Madrid, Ancelotti praised his performance highly: “He has the potential to score a lot of goals, we need to find a balance. We need to be grateful to those new players who are in great shape.”
Regarding Valverde’s position, Ancelotti explained: “It was unexpected that he appeared in the front, after all, we have many attacking players… He is more suited to play in a more withdrawn position in midfield.”
In addition, Ancelotti commented on other players. Regarding Bellingham, Ancelotti said: “He showed extraordinary ability, his performance in the second half was amazing… It’s even more incredible considering he only had 7 days of training.”
On Alaba, Ancelotti said: “He is about to start running training in the coming days, we expect him to return to the pitch quickly.”
