"I think back to his skill against Alves for the second goal. He's a solid player. Strength on set-pieces will be a big one". "From a defensive perspective, in the second game against them we were better. We know it's important to the Federation and the lower leagues. "We saw a good atmosphere in the Clásico with fans of both sides. We won't be forcing anyone. Nacho and Rodrygo did a good job”. "I've never risked a player who doesn't feel absolutely right. It's a well-worked counter-attack. I'm delighted if people are saying we're playing on the counter". We didn't win because of a long hoof up to Vinicius. In our third goal against Barcelona we had six players in the box, not just one. You have to be play vertically and have players who can release the pass at the perfect moment, as well as forwards who come onto it at just the right time. “I'm thrilled to hear that Madrid are playing well on the counter because it's not easy. We've scored more goals than any other team in LaLiga”. If we play defensively one day, it doesn't mean we're a defensive team. The perfect system doesn't exist. You don't win every time because you play with the ball, or on the counter. Against Cádiz, for instance, they made life hard for us. There's not some magic approach which guarantees you'll win. You might want to keep the ball because you've got more chance of winning, and of showing an identity. "I respect everyone, every facet of football is to be respected. He's feeling fine physically, but he will have to wait". I feel sorry for Carvajal because he did very well in the semifinal. “We are used to it happening in our family and our work now. That was clear against Atlético, a disciplined team who never give up". He's great at the tiny details and his teams are well organised. Athletic are playing very well and did well with Valencia.
Sometimes there are people you know, and you get this special feeling when you meet them again. I've seen a photo when we played against each other in 1987 and I didn't remember that. “We don't know each other too well but we've spoken before and after games. This team is used to these types of games and these moments". Being back in a final again is special and even more so when it's at the helm of Real Madrid. “I'm extremely happy to be experiencing this period, I'm very excited. Our approach will be different to the semifinal because Athletic have different characteristics to Barcelona". "Athletic have a range of attributes, including a solid defence, organisation, pace up top, quality on set pieces. It's going to be a very hard-fought match, just like the others were. We know each other very well because we have played twice in a month, once in Madrid and once in Bilbao. Alaba and Asensio are doubts and we'll have to assess them in this evening's training session. The coach reflected: “The team has recovered well, we trained well and have no physical issues. The stakes are high and the confidence is higher as we will be facing Mumbai City FC on January 2nd.Carlo Ancelotti appeared in an online press conference at the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final clash with Athletic (Sunday, 7:30pm CET). and Jordan Murray were seen clearing the balls from the defence.Ī win against Hyderabad FC has brightened up the teams’ morale. The team played together and it was evident as even Rahul K.P. The game had counter-attacks from both sides and we were brilliant in keeping the Hyderabad attackers off our posts, credits to Albino for some brilliant saves. Facundo’s corner kick turned the provider, giving us a lead before halftime. The local lad had a brilliant comeback to the starting 11 as he scored his first-ever goal for Kerala Blasters in the 29th minute. Sandeep Singh and Abdul Hakku got their first start of the season and took the opportunity with confidence. The team started with just three foreigners in the lineup where our habituated Costa – Kone centre back combo was replaced by two fresh legs. The all Indian backline provided a clean sheet and was able to put a stop to the lethal threats created by Aridane Santana, Liston Colaco, and Yasir of Hyderabad FC. A complete revamp in the defense saw the coach opted to go for a duo of Sandeep and Hakku to guard our back and both stood sentinel. After six winless matches, the team found it’s first three points under Head Coach Kibu Vicuña last Sunday beating Hyderabad FC in a 2-0 scoreline thanks to goals from Abdul Hakku and Jordan Murray.
