Three classics later, Ancelotti hit the table. He frowned in the press room when this newspaper asked him if he claimed 0-4, categorically denying that he had to claim anything. Carletto is a wise man, and as such he focused on his players and on the choral performance of him: «We have played a complete game because if not, you won’t win 0-4 here. we have read well the moment of suffering of the team and then the first goal has changed the dynamics. With spaces in the transitions we have created a lot of damage.
Ancelotti, who in February told Jagoba in the Pamplona League match that they would play the Cup final, an accurate premonition, once again bet on Kroos y Modric. Sublime game of both, despite the doubts: «Personality and experience is very important. Kroos and Modric, in these matches, their leg does not tremble. They have played a spectacular game, “said Carletto. Compliments also for Benzema, another consecutive hat-trick: “He has touched the switch. The work in the break has been good for him. If he is in good physical condition, he makes the difference ».
The Italian coach insisted on several occasions that his approach was the same as in the lost classics, with the nuance of Rodrygo on the right and Camavinga on the left side. Great game from the French: «He is in a very good moment and he is getting used to the position. He played his duel against Raphinha very well ».
Valverde had to play inside last night. Huge physical display of the Uruguayan, who went from less to more. He reaches his first Cup final: «You look at the result and it’s beautiful, but the important thing was to qualify as it was, even if it was playing badly. The 0-1 was the most important goal. Finding that goal, after being patient and waiting to move after robberies, was key. We knew how to take advantage of the spaces and there, congratulations to the forwards.
It will also be the first final of the KO tournament with the white shirt for Courtois, who on this occasion barely had a job at the Camp Nou: “It’s my first Cup final with Madrid and I am very happy. The road has been hard: Villarreal away from home, Atlético, Barça… Very proud ».
Carvajal praised the courage of Ancelotti, who instead of betting on four midfielders, he went for three forwards. A message that he permeated the team’s predisposition: «The coach has proposed a more offensive game with Luke, Rodrigo, Vini and Karim up generating scoring chances and we have taken advantage of the spaces very well, “reflected the full-back. “The boiler has returned to its temperature at the most important moment of the season,” Ancelotti stated.
