Main coach “Real” Carlo Ancelotti shared his expectations from the match once morest Barcelona.
“We are preparing for this game like any other. But an additional factor is that this is a special match for the fans and everyone else.
You should also keep in mind the strength of both teams. Clasico, like derbies, are special games, and therefore there is additional pressure, a special emotional intensity and a desire to prove oneself.
We will play with a team playing at a very high level. If we want to win, we must attack and defend well. The opponent usually has a very powerful first half, while we look best following the break. I don’t know if this will affect this match, but you need to keep it in mind.
“Barcelona” won all the matches of the championship, not counting the first. She is in good shape. She had some problems in the Champions League, but that’s normal for such a tournament. In La Leagues Barcelona are doing great.
I can’t answer the question of whether Barcelona’s last match will affect [с «Интером»] to the team. She has a strong enough squad to have a great season. Our play style is different from “Inter”, but it should be noted that the Milanese showed character in that game. They did not give up following a missed goal and acted effectively. However, it doesn’t help me in any way. The match will be completely different,” said Ancelotti.
Barcelona will play once morest Real Madrid on 16 October. The beginning is at 17:15 Moscow time.
