The UEFA Super Cup final did not go as Madrid's "Real" team wanted. The footballers of "Real," who triumphed in the Champions League last season, had to admit a 2-4 defeat to Madrid's "Atletico" in Tallinn.
One of the most important players of "Real," Casemiro, said that in these matches they really missed Cristiano Ronaldo, but they cannot justify it just because the Portuguese is no longer in the team.
"Cristiano showed that he is the best player in the world. But that's in the past and we can't continue talking about him.
We need to talk about the players we have. We want our players to be stronger, we want to have a solid team, and Cristiano is in the past.
This is just the beginning of everything. Julen Lopetegui is doing a great job, he is trying to maintain the hunger for victories, which is not easy.
We triumphed in the last four Champions Leagues in the last five years. We won almost everything. He is doing a great job keeping the players hungry for victory," Casemiro said.
