The Brazilian international has voiced his opinion regarding the Spanish Supercup, suggesting that anything is still possible.
Real Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 has claimed that his side are still in it with a chance to win the Supercopa de Espana.
In wake of Los Blancos 3-2 defeat in the first leg of the final, the defender has firmly established that the Spanish giants are holding on to their chances.
The two juggernauts of Spanish football met this past Thursday to decide the result of the first leg of the Spanish Supercup. The match that took place at the Nou Camp saw the hosts come away with a 3-2 victory over the Whites.
However, with 2 away goals to their name Madrid are still in a good position ahead of the second leg.
The return fixture will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu and there surely is no telling about which side will emerge victorious. However, the fans were treated to a wonderful display of football as they witnessed the first El Clasico of this season’s
campaign.
Both teams are keen on winning the Supercopa as it will be a great boost to their morale.
Jose Mourinho will particularly want his men to defeat their traditional rivals in this cup, since it is the only trophy that has evaded the Portuguese mentor ever since he took over as the Madrid head coach.
On the other hand, Tito Vilanova will also be hoping to register a victory to his name as there are doubts surrounding his future at the Nou Camp, given his inexperience at coaching.
Marcelo is convinced that Los Vikingos can still overturn the result of the first leg and secure this season’s first trophy as the second leg is yet to be played.
While talking to reporters, the defender full-back was quoted as saying:
"We ran all the time. We played the ball on the ground. We conceded three goals but we can count on the support of the fans to win at the Bernabeu. It's completely open, but we have to work and concentrate on the match because it will be very hard."
The return leg of the Spanish Supercup will take place next Wednesday.
