I hadn&#8217;t won anything since the Super Cup with Bayern Munich, so it had been a while. <\/p>\n<p>I think I did a good job for Napoli and Everton, but I didn&#8217;t win anything. I&#8217;m quite happy, and it makes me glad to see my teammates happy. They&#8217;ve achieved a lot, but they&#8217;re still dedicated. <\/p>\n<p>You can think you&#8217;re the best and play the best football in the world if you win a lot. Then you might not put forth as much effort. The level of sacrifice, though, is the same.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Given their performances against Barcelona and Athletic, the coach believes his team deserved to win the cup. &#8220;I think both of our matches here have been terrific, and we deserved to win them both, even though they were different,&#8221; he remarked. <\/p>\n<p>We had good ball control for 70 minutes tonight before slipping deeper. However, in a final, anything can happen.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When asked if winning with the 2021\/22 squad was more fulfilling than winning trophies with Los Blancos during his previous tenure, Ancelotti simply stated that it was different. &#8220;We have different players, but the same quality as before,&#8221; he explained. <\/p>\n<p>For example, we don&#8217;t have Cristiano Ronaldo, but we do have Vincius and Rodrygo. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ec390cbd42d4467cac152439b2a25db6\"\/><\/p>\n<p>(Rodrygo and Vinicius)<\/p>\n<p>I am equally proud of both teams. This is a fantastic team and a fantastic group. We leave with more energy to compete, and we know that we can win in a variety of ways. <\/p>\n<p>I consider myself fortunate and honored to be in charge of this club. <\/p>\n<p>Naturally, we&#8217;ll continue to compete in the other tournaments. Our next match is on Thursday, and it&#8217;s a crucial one. We can make some alterations if we have some tired guys.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Courtois<\/p>\n<p>Carlo Ancelotti then went on to describe Courtois as the best goalkeeper in the world after magnificently saving Raul Garcia\u2019s penalty.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201c Oh yes Courtois is the best in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodrygo&#8217;s impact on the Supercopa final, according to Ancelotti\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rodrygo started in place of Marco Asensio, who was injured, and he was fantastic for his hour on the field. &#8220;Rodrygo has my trust,&#8221; Ancelotti stated of the kid. <\/p>\n<p>However, Asensio alternates between playing and not playing. The rivalry between them has benefited them both individually and as a team. Rodrygo had a great first half performance and was highly efficient, not just with the assist.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Marcelo&#8217;s minutes, according to Ancelotti\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Marcelo entered the game in the 86th minute, largely regarded as Ancelotti giving him the opportunity to compete in the tournament and win his 23rd title with the club. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Marcelo has stayed professional and vital in the squad,&#8221; the coach said, insisting that there was a tactical reason for the change. When I put him on, it wasn&#8217;t a present for him. <\/p>\n<p>For the last minutes, we wanted to make sure that the left side was fully covered. Because of his positive attitude every day, he deserves more time than he receives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Possession<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We played out from the back very well, especially in the first half and against a very good pressing team. I think we had the quality to play out from the back and they found it difficult. It&#8217;s always nice when you have a lot of possession like today&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He then laughs and says: \u201cwe had too much possession today.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: KingtsugiNews (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
