The Best: Carlo Ancelotti's mocking response to Vinícius' absence

On Thursday, FIFA revealed the names of the 12 players nominated to win The Best trophy, a trophy which rewards, as its name suggests, the best player of the season. If the favorites Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland are logically present in this list, the absence of Vinícius Júnior has caused a lot of talk in recent days.

Called to comment on this situation this Saturday at a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti preferred ironically: “I saw him the other day (Vinicius) and he was crying in the locker room. He spent three or four hours crying (laughs),” joked the Italian technician. A probably roundabout way of expressing incomprehension.
