Ancelotti: "If we want to defeat Eintracht, we will have to fight tooth and nail
"Winning the Champions League has generated a lot of excitement, and we want to maintain that," ""Coach," he said.
The penultimate practice before the UEFA Super Cup match against Eintracht Frankfurt was place in Helsinki's Olympic Stadium, and Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media there (Wednesday, 9pm). "I watched the Eintracht game against Bayern," the coach said in his pregame remarks. "We won't be fooled by that. They defeated some really strong teams, therefore they deserved to win the Europa League. They are a vibrant team that plays fast-paced football.
We are well aware of them, and if we want to defeat them, we will need to fight, struggle, and play effectively. We've trained well and feel quite confident, so we're in terrific form to do just that. The euphoria we felt after winning the Champions League is still present for us and our supporters. We want to maintain the momentum.
identical starting lineup as the Champions League final?
"The work done by those who won the Champions League got us here. With only 11 players, we didn't simply prevail. Even if many of the players are deserving of playing, I'm going to start with the team who defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League final (smiles).
If Modri and Benzema want to play, I believe they will do it from their seats next to me.
This term, there are six trophies at stake.
"I have no doubt that we will compete fiercely to win every competition. The six competitions are a little trickier to win. Fighting for them and giving it a shot will be possible, and that's what we'll be doing. I have a lot of faith in my team, which is, in my opinion, stronger than it was the previous season. We're going to battle hard and compete."
"Success is always unique. I'm always thrilled when we succeed and disappointed when we fail. I don't care about statistics. The most crucial factor is for me to enjoy.
Options for Benzema coverage
"We have a good group of strikers, including Benzema, Mariano, Hazard, Rodrygo, Asensio, and Vini Jr. I sincerely hope I didn't leave anyone out. The team suffers when the finest striker in the world is out, but we do have some other options. Karim is challenging to replace. No player in the entire globe is able to take his place. We'll adjust to the circumstance if Benzema is sick.
