If his repudiable act had been cataloged like a grave fault, the only judge Alfredo Flórez, the one who carried the case in that then, could have sanctioned to the Portuguese of 4 to 12 parties sanctioned. At the end, this stage no dió.

The turn of the Supercopa went to play in the Camp Nou, with triumph barcelonista and final episode that gave of what speak: A dirty and violent entrance of Marcelo to Cesc Fábregas in front of the benches.

"I was the one who failed, would not have to have done what did. Claro that no, the negative image remains for ever. Tito did not have at all that see with this. I'm sorry by him".

It mentioned that, in that then the dynamics in which it was incurso when it directed the Real Madrid resumía in that it was necessary to win constantly. "I have been a bit victim of me same. If it could, it would be one of the things that would not repeat. I won, I won and I won. I put me in a dynamics in which not winning seemed like the end of the world (…) I same, by my personality, promoted a bit this, that all is always to win, win or win. When it arrived to situations in which it was very difficult to do it, something that for other trainers was something acceptable, for me always considered insufficient, a failure ".
