Ancelotti: "I have told Vinícius and Bellingham that I don't like tacos"

Carlo Ancelotti appeared satisfied in the flash interview and had good words for Barcelona: “It was a match that cost us a lot. The result is too much for how Barcelona has played. At 3-1 the game was tied, with the fourth they lowered their arms. Maybe after 2-0 we used the counterattack too much, we had to control a little more.”

The Madrid coach ruined the heels of Vinícius and Bellingham in the final minutes: “I don't like the heels. Vinicius has done it and Bellingham has done it and I don't like it," he noted, not without praising the Brazilian forward's performance: "Vini has needed two or three games to return to his best level, but he has returned."

Already at a press conference, Ancelotti commented that "it was a special night, but in Madrid there are many special nights. That is the strength of this club. We have confidence because we have a very strong team, with a very motivated dressing room and great individuals".

The Madrid coach analyzed the match: "I think the result was resounding, but the match... we took the lead very early and, until 4-1, it was open. They handled the ball well and it was difficult for us to recover it. If we think it has been easy, we are wrong."

For Ancelotti, the key to having scored nine goals in the Super Cup is clear: "We are very dangerous because there is mobility at the top, not fixed positions. That prevents the rival from setting the marks. Vinicius gets in, Bellingham, Rodrygo... with the help of the sides create a lot of danger. Mobility is what generates problems.

The coach ended his appearance very satisfied: "This club supports me and gives me love. I am in a cloud. But you can also come down from the clouds. I will come down and you will be there," he stated.

Vinícius, the MVP of the game, also passed through the mixed zone: "I'm not a saint. Sometimes I talk too much or dribble that doesn't work, but I'm here to improve and set an example for the children who are watching me," he said.

Regarding Ancelotti making him ugly for his high heels, he commented: “Of course, the coach is there to teach us what is correct. Sometimes we go a little overboard, but sometimes we have to show the magic of Brazil. I am having more experience to do the right things. Sometimes I fail, but because I want to improve and reach my best version.”
