Although Real have not started the competitions of the new season, under the guidance of their Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, they present excellent friendlies, as they have managed to beat Juventus, with two goals netted, in their last friendlies. The team hopes to win the Super Cup at the start of the new season. Ancelotti believes that the match will not be easy, especially since his team, Eintracht, won the European League title and was not a candidate. Ancelotti stated in statements published on the official website of the European Football Association: “Eintracht got something special last year, because they were not among the candidates for the European League. He added:” They played great games, they beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou , relying on counter-attacks. “” Of course, Eintracht is a team that will cause problems, “he said. Given the strength of both teams, it will be an excellent match.” The full entry of Real is expected in absence of injuries to the players, but Ancelotti is not required to pay the new contracts that the club signed during the summer market period in course. On the other hand, the start of Frankfurt’s new season came very badly, which is the worst start for the team in the German league (Bundesliga), as Frankfurt started their matches with a 6-1 defeat against Bayern Monaco. Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner praised Real Madrid, saying: “We can’t wait to face Real Madrid. I don’t see it as a direct confrontation with Ancelotti, but it is with Real, one of the club most beautiful and winning in the history of football. We want to prepare in so that you have every chance of winning the game. “Oliver Glasner will miss the efforts of Aurelo Botta and Jerome Ongeni due to injury, and will also miss the efforts of Philip Kostic, who allowed the club to skip the game to complete his departure from the European champions.
