According to information from the Spanish newspaper \u201cDefensa Central\u201d, following Real Madrid\u2019s thrilling victory over Mallorca and their qualification for the Spanish Super Cup final, Carlo Ancelotti made decisive decisions regarding the lineup for the upcoming match against Barcelona.<\/p>\n
The Italian coach not only acknowledged the outstanding performance of certain players, but also sent clear and direct messages to all the stars, reflecting the great challenge awaiting them in the final.Brazilian Rodrigo was one of the standout players of the match, delivering an excellent performance against Mallorca. Ancelotti did not hesitate to tell him that this is the level he expects in the final against Barcelona, saying, \u201cI want this level in the final against Barcelona,\u201d while emphasizing the importance of maintaining this high performance to ensure the team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
As for the substitute who turned the tide of the match with his impressive performance, it was Moroccan Brahim Diaz. The player, who showed great potential after coming on in the second half, received a promise from Ancelotti to start in the Super Cup final against Barcelona, telling him, \u201cBe ready to start in the starting lineup for the final in El Clasico.\u201d This statement reflects the coach\u2019s high confidence in Diaz\u2019s ability to deliver in big matches.However, Ancelotti\u2019s words were not limited to praise and encouragement. He also warned one of his key players about repeating some of the mistakes made during the match. German defender Antonio Rudiger was the target of these warnings, with the coach advising him, \u201cLosing the title with this performance will cost us.\u201d This warning highlights the importance of proper preparation and avoiding fatal errors in the final against Barcelona.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, young Spanish defender Raul Asensio received great praise from the club\u2019s president, Florentino Perez. Perez went down to the locker room after the match to congratulate the players on qualifying for the final and particularly praised Asensio, saying: \u201cI want this spirit against Barcelona,\u201d referring to the excellent performance Asensio delivered after coming on as a substitute for Frenchman Tchouameni, showcasing the fighting spirit and determination the team needs in the final.For his part, Florentino Perez expressed dissatisfaction with the coach\u2019s decision not to replace Jude Bellingham despite his obvious fatigue. Bellingham had played a strong match, but the Italian coach chose not to substitute him, even though the player clearly needed rest.<\/p>\n
In a surprising development, Perez also spoke about young Turkish star Arda Guler, who appears to have not received enough playing opportunities in recent matches. Perez expressed his desire to give Guler more chances to feature, especially since the player showed great potential when he did play, deserving more minutes on the pitch, which he has not yet received.<\/p>\n
With Real Madrid now through to the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona, Ancelotti faces major challenges in determining the starting lineup. His decisions regarding which players will start in the final will be crucial, as Perez works to ensure that every player isgiven the right opportunities to showcase their potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
