Ancelotti Reveals His Cards and Issues a Warning to Barcelona: The Tactic...

Real Madrid and Barça will play this Sunday in the Spanish Supercopa final in Arabia. A new Clásico that will be different from the previous ones we've seen, as Ancelotti already warned. Never knowing how a game against the eternal rival will turn out.

However, in the pre-gaame conference, Ancelotti surprised everyone by revealing his cards. "The tactical aspect of the offside is important in the game, we've assessed and worked on it," he confessed. Therefore, Barça is already warned for tomorrow.

In the first Clásico of the season, Madrid couldn't attack the advanced defense that Flick set up. Mbappé systematically fell into offside and missed Iñaki Peña's goal. It was the most recurring mistake of the Meringue team, and it was something they needed to fix.

It's clear that if the German coach sets up the same defensive system, they might suffer against the white team. Especially if Carletto has found the key to attack those high lines. If they catch them off guard, they can find themselves alone in front of the goalkeeper, which can be decisive.

The Clásico of last season's Super Cup as an example

Real Madrid doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the first leg Clásico and has a good model to follow. A year ago, both teams faced each other in the Super Cup final, and the whites triumphed. They outperformed the blaugranas thanks to a Vinícius hat-trick.

A large part of that success was knowing how to attack the back of the defense, which was constantly overwhelmed. That's the same path the madridistas want to take this time. Adjusting the runs to avoid offside and take advantage.

Ancelotti has already warned that they've taken good note of that situation and have been working on it. Therefore, if Barça doesn't have a plan B and expects a repeat of what happened at Bernabéu, they could suffer. Although we'll see that from the referee's initial whistle on the field.
