Ancelotti is Determined, Activates the ‘2014 Plan’ against Bayern
The Real Madrid coach will once again appeal to unity to reach another Champions League final.
Carlo Ancelotti, should he manage to overcome the tie against Bayern Munich, would reach his sixth Champions League final as a coach. To achieve this, he will appeal to the mental aspect as a key factor for victory in tomorrow’s match.
“Tactics are not as important as the mental aspect and the desire to reach the final. Shape is not as crucial as the team remaining united,” were his words before the second leg of the German team in the 2014 Champions League semifinals.
Ancelotti will appeal to the mental aspect and the unity of the players to overcome the tie against Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid tomorrow has the advantage of playing the second leg of the tie against Bayern at their own stadium.
That was a decisive factor two years ago in overturning PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester City, continuing to build the Madridista legend.
Real Madrid could reach their sixth final in the last few Champions League editions.
Tomorrow, there’s no need for a comeback; just winning or advancing on penalties will give the white team the chance to win their sixth Champions League in the last eleven years, an achievement only within reach of the best team in the world.
Madrid has eliminated the German team the last few times they’ve met in the Champions League, but it’s also true that the last time Bayern progressed, the second leg was played at the Santiago Bernabéu. Therefore, the white players cannot afford to be complacent if they want another chance to lift the trophy.
After winning the Spanish league last Saturday, Ancelotti’s team arrives with morale sky-high and ready to show they are the kings of Europe.
With the signings coming next summer, rivals fear there may be a decade dominated by white in European football.
