Without Kostic (one step away from closing his transfer to Juventus) and after losing 1-6 in a horrible debut against Bayern, the German team arrives with many doubts
A priori, Ancelotti’s team is very favorite to lift the first title of the season
Real Madrid faces tonight (21:00) in Helsinki the first title of the season. Ancelotti’s squad faces Eintracht Frankfurt in the European Super Cup. A priori, the white team is the favorite to win against a German team that arrives with many doubts. The sale of their great star, Kostic, to Juventus, the loss of an important player last year like Hintergger (retired at 29). The defeat on the opening day of the Bundesliga (1-6) against Bayern.
The feelings of the team led by Oliver Glasner are not the best at all. This Eintracht seems far from the team that amazed in the Europa League tie against Barça. An eminently physical set, with very fast transitions and daggers on the band and above. “I feel very good, we really want to play this game, it’s the reward for having won the Europa League. Now we can compete here, in the Super Cup. Play with the European champion, against whom I beat PSG, City, Chelsea … A team with a lot of quality. We want to give our best version. That’s our approach. We’re not afraid, we really want to play the game. We’ve already shown that we always have chances and that’s the approach, we want to take advantage of them,” Glasner said. at a press conference.
THE TRAUMATIC LOSS OF KOSTIC
Very delicate has been the matter of the Serbian left-handed lane. Kostic was the team’s big star last season, and Glasner still had hopes of keeping him. But he won’t even make it to Helsinki even though his transfer to Juventus is not yet official. With everything and especially after the resounding setback on Friday at home against Bayern, he arrives in full decomposition.
