The Catalan sporting director was full of praise for the footballing spectacle put up by Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, whilst also sharing that the match was decided on small details.
Real Madrid managed to usurp Barcelona from yet another of their tightly clasped crows as they managed to record a 2-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu in front of a capacity crowd.
Andoni Zubizarreta could not contain himself from hailing the performances by the two traditional rivals, despite the fact that the Camp Nou-based outfit were beaten for the first time in four years by Los Blancos in the Spanish capital.
The sporting director was off the view that the match was decided by small details, which eventually decided who would lift the first title of the 2012/13 Spanish top flight football season.
When asked to analyze the match, Zubizarreta stated that he was in awe of the hunger for goals shown by Madrid and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, something that stood out for both the outfits.
Zubizarreta shared that Madrid were the better team in the first period but were made to change their approach after the interval. Continuing on the topic, he praised the performance of Barcelona, who gave a good account of their abilities with a man’s disadvantage.
"Hats off to Madrid. It has been a great Supercopa, many goals and they have decided to very small details. Real Madrid played a good half hour, but we got to the last moment with the potential to achieve that second goal which would give us the title,"
he told TVE.
Zubizarreta admitted that it was the complex reordering in Barcelona starting eleven that hindered their ability to perform at the highest level. The Catalan executive was pointing towards the sudden inclusion of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-Alves-c9869 being sideline
with a minor injury.
However, the former goalkeeper shared that there were positives to take from the fixture which exhibited the character of Barcelona players.
"But we have seen the character of our players and staff. Admittedly there were mistakes that were committed, but also things that have been done well. We played the right wing with Martin Montoya and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 Tello... and the complications created by Real
Madrid, Song (http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752) debuted... There are always positive things to draw," he added.
