At the end of September, Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, showed his displeasure when analyzing a problem inappropriate for the white team. “When you don’t score, anxiety and worry come to you. That’s what’s happening and we have to continue giving him confidence.” The Italian referred to Rodrygo, who had become the attacker with the worst aim in Europe. It was the clear representation of a team that scored one goal for every 11.8 shots. The nine goals scored in the Super Cup against Atlético and Barcelona seem not to belong to the same sporting creature.
Real Madrid has been able to have the necessary patience to refine its focus and return from Saudi Arabia as a team that transforms everything it touches into a goal. It does this from all records. These two examples serve: the auction of Mendy joining from behind in the semi-final and any of the diagonals drawn by Vinicius o Rodrygo against Barcelona. Up to seven different players scored in Saudi.
Xavi wants to sign but can’t
For many days, the flow of so many had a single origin: Bellingham (he is still the top scorer of the season with 17 goals). English can now dedicate itself to tasks that are more appropriate to it, such as assistance. He drew a magnificent one for Vinicius, the great star in the win against Barça. The Brazilian did not need to work hard at dribbling, it was enough for him to explore the space in front of him, combining with Rodrygo in an explosive cocktail. Until Rüdigerwho is not the most knowledgeable in getting the ball out, had plenty of time to look long for the duo.

“Vinicius shines almost always”
Precisely, the Brazilian attacker has been pointed out many times in the past for the lack of clarity in the last meters. With a large estate ahead of him, from which he ended up Araujothe antidote of Xavi in previous ‘classics’, he had all the time in the world to imagine the best definitions against a Iñaki Peña unable. Vinicius shattered again and again the illusion into which Real Madrid made Barça fall.
“Vinicius shines almost always. Scoring three goals is not normal. He played a great game. He always makes them. He may deny himself a bit, but the effort he makes is always phenomenal. “He is one of the best in the world,” he praised. Florentino Perez, who from the height of a consolidated and healthy project -despite the spending effort at the Bernabéu-. “This happens (the 4-1 result) in these tournaments and in these games. It is normal for things like this to happen. We have played very well in both games. People have had fun and we have conveyed that we have a great team,” he added. the top Madrid leader, who consoled John Laporta. They met again in Riyadh after the distance generated by the Negreira case, reduced in the Super Cup and with common support for the Super League.
Vinicius destroys his kryptonite Araújo and unsettles Barça
Ancelotti is on a cloud
The white team handed the ball to an opponent who, through their current coach, had claimed ‘Cruyffism’ in the previous round. An appeal in vain. He pressed without doing so. The attackers were not able to suffocate the ball from a Real Madrid team that came out in a rush every time it had the opportunity, portraying the poor level of the defenders as Koundé or his own Araujo. Everything worked perfectly in the mind and on the blackboard of a Ancelotti that equals in titles with Zidane on the white club scale. However, “the trophy is on display and on,” as dictated by the mentality of an entity forced to always win. The school of thought or the tactical spirit does not matter.
“This club supports me and gives me love… I’m on a cloud. But you can also come down from the clouds,” said the Italian in the press conference after a match in which he received the love of Florentino Pérez on the pitch. . After a summer market that generated distrust in the Italian coach due to the lack of desired reinforcements, the positive development of the first round of the championship has limited all the rough edges.
Left hand, experience and style
“Real Madrid and Ancelotti “They fit very well,” said the white leader, who made the decision to renew Carletto until 2026. The best decision for all parties. Although the Italian was seduced by Brazil, as he himself admitted, the white team has always been the first of his priorities. Today there is no coach who combines experience, left hand and interpretation of the game so well.
Ancelotti escaped the struggle of styles that posed Xavi in the previous one with a lesson in maturity. He said he doesn’t care how to play if the result was victory. But the Italian once again gave a tactical lesson both before and during the match. He guided Vinicius in the movements and intervened to replace him when he became entangled in provocations that he himself regretted in the appearance as MVP of the game.
Real Madrid does not think about Mbappé. Nor in any particular reinforcement, even though the Super Cup is just one of the many rounds that awaits Ancelotti. He signed Bellingham and he was right. In the Super Cup final he imagined passes as if it were Zidane. Its angry adaptation also has the hand of Ancelottiwhich, unlike, Xavi, knows how to get the best out of each player and does not subscribe to a system or a style that he cannot defend. Neither in the field nor in the speech.
