Carlo Ancelottiselector Brasil, dissected this Wednesday, in an exclusive interview with the newspaper AS, several players he had under his command during his successful time in the Real Madrid, where he became the most successful coach in the history of the white club with 15 titles: : 3 Champions League, 2 Suspenders2 King’s Cups3 Club World Cupsyes, 3 European Super Cups and 2 Spanish Super Cups.
The Italian coach was asked why Vinicius does not show with Brazil the top world level that he has frequently reached with the merengue team. “It is true that with the national team he has not been able to reach the level he usually has at Real Madrid. But in these last games he has improved and has done very well with the canarinha, scoring goals and giving assists. No one can argue with its qualities.s. Vini is top,” he said.
“Vini was a little affected by not winning the Ballon d’Or”
When explaining some of the reasons for Vinicius’ decline, ‘Carletto’ believes that “It affected him a little not to win the Ballon d’Or, but now Vini is close to his best level. He is playing very well and is being decisive. Vini has a strong character, it’s not that he dwells too much on the mistakes he has or the criticism he receives. He looks forward very quickly. “I am sure that Vini will arrive at the World Cup in his best condition,” he stated.
On Vinicius’ monumental anger in the last Classic, when it was replaced by Xabi AlonsoAncelotti said that “That day he made a mistake. He has to understand the role he now has in Madrid, the role of a more important player in the locker room than he was before. You have made a mistake, you have apologized and you must learn from these mistakes. “The coach has the right to make the changes he needs to improve the team,” he added.
“Now I see Rodrygo motivated and happy”
Ancelotti also analyzed the delicate moment he went through Rodrygo at the end of last season, from which, among others, the Italian coach himself helped him get out. “Each of us has moments of more or less difficulty in life. When you have a moment of difficulty you need help from the people around you. Now I see Rodrygo very well on a personal level, motivated, happy, something that did not happen at the end of last season. “It’s not that I did anything in particular, I just understood the problem he had and tried to help him in the best way possible,” he commented.
Clarification regarding Endrick
Regarding Endrick, who has barely played 11 minutes in this League to become a completely residual footballer with Xabi AlonsoAncelotti wanted to highlight that “he is a very important player because he is one of the talents that has come out of Brazilian football. We are evaluating him. But it is not true that I said that Endrick should leave Madrid to go to the World Cup. It is an issue for Madrid and the player. Those who say that I have stated that are not true. He must talk to the club and make the best decision for him and for Madrid. I would never advise Madrid what to do with one of their players. “The club knows very well what it has to do,” he said.
