Ancelotti pulls Vini Jr’s ear and detonates Real Madrid’s defeat

Carlo Ancelotti opened the game on the defeat of Real Madrid and the 14th yellow vini jr in the 2022/23 season. The striker scored a goal and provided an assist, but he was targeted by the coach during the press conference. Despite having done his part and received praise from the Italian, the Brazilian saw the Whites coach get irritated with the large sequence of warnings that the athlete has received throughout the year.

Vini Jr has been the subject of several complaints during Real Madrid’s matches this season and has received many yellow cards. In total, the player has already been yellowed 14 times, nine of which were in the Spanish Championship. With that, after the 4-2 defeat to Girona, Carlo Ancelotti didn’t leave it cheap and gave the merengue striker an ear pull.

He played well, with goals and assists. But the team was not connected and we paid for it. There are a lot of yellows for a player of his characteristics. I already told him several times”, he stated.

In addition to talking about Vini Jr, Carlo Ancelotti took the opportunity to point out the difficulties that Real Madrid had during the confrontation against Girona. The negative result did not please the merengue coach, mainly due to the lack of commitment from the players. In addition, the slow transition was the point that made him the most irritated when evaluating his team’s departure.

There was a lack of strength without the ball, commitment. We left the transitions, the weight of the game was good with the ball but without, we left a lot of space and they scored two goals in the first two plays“, he explained.

“It’s inexplicable that we conceded so many goals, and we lacked strength in the duels. We left a lot of space, whenever they came from behind they made transitions and we failed. The 3 to 1 in a minute of the second half cut our legs. We’re really hurt, obviously. Now we have to get up soon because we still have everything at stake, let’s get up”completed.
