On the sidelines of the Clasico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in the final of this Spanish Super Cup, Carlo Ancelotti paid a magnificent tribute to Zinedine Zidane.
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona meet this Sunday (8 p.m.), in Saudi Arabia, for the grand final of the Spanish Super Cup. A special meeting for Carlo Ancelotti, who would equal, in the event of a Merengue victory, a Zinedine Zidane record. Indeed, he could join the Frenchman on the second step of the podium of the most successful coaches in the history of the Madrid club with eleven trophies.
“I am very happy and satisfied to win titles, Ancelotti said in a pre-match press conference on Saturday. But the most important thing is what happens the next day, not what happened. I always think about the future. And from Thursday, we will have another match. You remember from time to time what you have won, your titles, but the important thing is to continue. My mentality is to look forward, no matter what. »
“He was a great help to me”
The Italian technician then paid a vibrant tribute to “Zizou”. “He was the best player I saw in training. He did incredible things, he recalled. And then he brought me a lot here as assistant, because he knew the club very well. He helped me with the French and also to adapt to Spanish culture. He was a great help to me. » Zidane will appreciate it.
