The Portuguese mentor has offered his opinion regarding the Spanish Supercup, insisting that Los Blancos can still emerge victorious despite losing out the first leg.
Real Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho, has expressed that anything can still happen at the Supercopa de Espana.
According to the veteran tactician, the Spanish giants are still in it with a chance to win the trophy which has evaded him during his two-year reign at the Spanish capital.
As his third year at the Santiago Bernabeu is now underway, the trainer is determined to achieve more titles with the club.
Madrid’s opponents in the Supercup are their traditional rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, who were also the winners of the cup last season. La Blaugrana have also cemented their chances to be victorious this season as well as they were able to win the first leg of the
two-legged final.
Tito Vilanova’s men hosted the Whites at the Nou Camp last week in a massively competitive fixture. To the joy of the home crowd, the hosts managed to win the match with a score of 3-2.
Despite taking the lead in the second half, Mourinho’s men failed to hold on to their advantage and succumbed to the attacking prowess of the Catalan giants. Goals by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 and Xavi Hernandez put Barca in the driving seat; however, a late goal
by Angel di Maria significantly altered things.
As a result, Los Vikingos came away with an advantage of 2 away goals.
Mourinho has stressed that anything is possible in the second leg of the Supercup and that his side will try their best to emerge victorious.
While talking to reporters, the 49-year-old was quoted as saying:
"We will try to defend whenever [Barcelona] have the ball and attack when we have it. We must try to score from the first minute. The team does not have to change anything from the way we played at Camp Nou. We had a good game.”
"Winning the Supercopa and beating Barcelona is not important to me. My priority is knowing what happened against Getafe [on Sunday] - whether it's a psychological problem. What's important is knowing whether that was a one-off."
The second leg of the Supercopa de Espana will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
