Live bar January 16 news Beijing time next Monday morning Spanish Super Cup final, Real Madrid will play against Bilbao. In a press conference ahead of the match, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois gave his thoughts on every aspect of the game.
About the game
It's going to be a tough race, knowing that Bilbao played in 3 finals last year.
On the manager's opinion of the final
Before such a final, the head coach usually inspires us through talk. Everyone knows we're in the final and we want to win. There is no need to mobilize in such a competition, we want to win the championship. Last season, we didn't win any titles, so we were hungry for a championship.
About the defenders of the team
Varane and Ramos are true Real Madrid legends and are the team's defensive code. Today, we have Araba, Nacho, Militang and others, and I feel comfortable playing with everyone.
About Hazard
He keeps trying, keeps going, and it's not easy for the manager to choose who will be on the pitch.
About Vinicius
Vinicius has been improving his strength and confidence over the past few years, and he was able to score goals before. When Zidane was in charge of Real Madrid, he trained a lot on his ability to finish. Moreover, he and Benzema also had a lot of communication. He's a very strong player and he's shown it this season.
About set-pieces
Now that set-pieces have become an important weapon for a team, you may suddenly take the lead because of a foul. This season we've changed the way we stand in defensive corners, we've got to adapt and there are a few other teams that have done a good job of that. At the San Mamés stadium against Bilbao, I think we did a good job defending. But tomorrow we have to stay focused.
About your goals
I hope to continue to win titles at Real Madrid and tomorrow we want to win the first title of the season.
