Ancelotti vows Real Madrid won’t repeat mistakes against Barca
Ahead of their Copa del Rey Clasico against Barcelona on Thursday, Ancelotti insists his side will avoid the mistakes they made in their 3-1 loss.
Real Madrid will not only face Barcelona in both legs of the Copa del Rey semi-final in March, but also they will have a La Liga clash with them in a bid to turn over the Catalan club's seven-point lead at the league summit. The last time the sides met Real Madrid was a victim of their errors, but Ancelotti insists those errors will not happen again.
"
In the Super Cup we lacked commitment, with individual mistakes that will not be repeated,"
he told a press conference.
"We are close to winning an important competition and we will compete. It's not the decisive game, but we want to take advantage.
"We do not have the desire for a rematch of the Super Cup, but because we are close to a title, the boiler rises in temperature."
Comparing his side to the last season, the Italian coach added: "
So far, I have said that, compared to last year, we have two points less in LaLiga. But we were also out of the Copa del Rey.
"We're not much better off than last year; we're where we've deserved to be. But now comes the good stuff.
"We've got to March competing in all competitions. Let's see if we can win something."
