The final between Real Madrid and Atlhletic of the Super Cup that takes place this Sunday in Riyadh has experienced a preliminary, in a certain way, very friendly between the great technical managers of the two teams. During the official photograph, the one that had the most journalistic interest was not, precisely, the one they took between them, but one that showed the Italian coach to the Basque team.
After looking at the official photograph, the Real Madrid coach explained that “he hadn’t seen it until now”, referring to Marcelino. And he added: “We don’t know each other very well in person, but it’s a friendship that we’ve enjoyed over time. I’ve seen a photo that we played as rivals in ’87 and I didn’t remember. It’s a skin friendship, sometimes it happens that there are people that you know but you feel something special when you meet him”. And it is that Marcelino showed him an image in which both had coincided as footballers.
At that time, Ancelotti played for Milan and wore the number eight on the back. Marcelino, meanwhile, played for Sporting. In the first leg at El Molinón they hardly even coincided because Carletto appeared on the pitch in the 85th minute. That match ended 1-0 and in the second leg the result was 3-0. Marcelino played half part.
