UEFA Super Cup in sight
The Mister also praised the excellent physical condition of Vinicius, the number 7 of the Blancos, who played 33 minutes against the Blaugranas. “Vinicius played his last match on July 6, a month ago. He rested for 15 days and then he started working. It’s not like when I was a player, when he did nothing for a month and he was fat. He’s fine, he’s back in shape and he needs minutes.”he explained.
Ancelotti also detailed his plans for the full return of his squad, expected to train on August 6 ahead of the UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta on August 14.
