Ancelotti warns Vinicius: clash with Alonso in El Clasico was wrong

Former Real Madrid coach and current Brazil national team coach Carlo Ancelotti has told Vinicius that his angry outburst at coach Xavi Alonso after being substituted in the previous El Clasico was wrong.

He made a mistake, he apologized, and he has to learn from it. The coach has the right to do what he thinks It can improve the team's substitution adjustments. "

"It may have affected him a little bit, but now Vinnie is close to his best. He plays very well and can decide games. Vinnie has a strong character; he doesn't dwell too much on his mistakes or the criticism he receives. He is able to move on very quickly. I believe Vinnie will do his best. The state is ready for the World Cup. "

Rodrigo is doing very well now ' - Ancelotti

At the end of Ancelotti's coaching period at Real Madrid, Rodrigo's situation was somewhat puzzling. From the King's Cup final to the Club World Cup, he almost did not appear on the court.

"In general, we all have difficult moments in life, big or small. When you go through hard times, you need the help of people around you. Now, I see Rodrygo in a very good personal condition, motivated and happy, which is different from what he was at the end of last season. It's not that I did anything special; I just understood him. problems at the time and trying to help him in the best way I could. "

"He is a very important player because he is one of the emerging talents of Brazilian football. We are evaluating him. But I said that Ndrick should leave Real Madrid to participate in the World Cup, which is not true. That is a matter between Real Madrid and the player. Those who say that I advised him to leave are wrong Wrong. He should communicate with the club and make the best decision for himself and for Real Madrid. I will never give Real Madrid advice on what to do with their players. "
