Unhappy with his striker’s performance during the match won on Wednesday by Real Madrid against Las Palmas (2-0), Carlo Ancelotti irritated his player.
Three days after the setback conceded on the lawn of Atlético de Madrid (3-1), Real Madrid hosted Las Palmas on Wednesday. The opportunity for the Merengue to redo their cherry to move forward with a new victory in their pocket (2-0). And also an opportunity for Carlo Ancelotti to bring back Vinicius Junior who has been absent from the field for a month after his muscle tear. But the Brazilian’s entry into play clearly did not satisfy his coach.
So much so that tension rose slightly between the two men. As relayed Marca the day after the meeting, there was a bit of frying on the line. On several occasions during the meeting, Carlo Ancelotti asked Vinicius: “ Play more openly. » An instruction that the attacker obviously did not understand, who responded with a gesture of irritation, added the Spanish media.
“You can’t play like that”
Annoyed by this incomprehension, the Italian coach then stood up to say: “ You can’t play like that. » And Vinicius retorted: “ I don’t play like that… » At the final whistle, the Brazilian passed next to the Italian without the two protagonists greeting each other. A fact of the match which was surely forgotten a few minutes later.
