Before the Spanish Super Cup final against FC Barcelona on Sunday (8:00 p.m.) in Ryad, Carlo Ancelotti assured Saturday that the players of Real Madrid, defending champion, "
never get tired of winning
", and praised the qualities of Karim Benzema "
very motivated
" for the second half of the season.
“
We fight every day precisely for this, to reach a final.
The team is motivated and confident, because we are used to this type of pressure
, ”assured the Italian technician on Saturday at a pre-match press conference.
“
All titles are important for this club.
They give us motivation, confidence, they bring the good atmosphere... There are a lot of things at stake in this match
, ”warned Ancelotti.
In the event of a coronation, Real Madrid would equal FC Barcelona's 13 Spanish Supercups, and above all would reach the bar of 100 titles, according to the club's count.
“
We are in a very demanding club, which does not allow you to think that you have already won enough.
We have players who started winning in 2013, who continue to win today, and who never get tired of winning.
And that will never happen, because they have very deep mental resources
,” “Carletto” pointed out.
Ancelotti also had a word for Karim Benzema, back after a first part of the season undermined by physical glitches, and also missed a World Cup through injury.
“
Karim has returned, it gives us a lot of confidence for the next matches.
I feel he is very motivated, he is training well, he is a very important part of our team.
The team made up for his absence during the first part of the season, and now he will help us a lot in the second half
,” said the coach.
