\u201cHe simply made a mistake that day and needs to understand his new role at Real Madrid, a more important role in the dressing room than before. He made a mistake, he apologised, and he must learn from it. The coach has the right to make the changes he needs to improve the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Ballon d\u2019Or may have affected Vinicius, but now\u2026\u2019<\/h2>\n
Last season Vinicius struggled to find his best form, and many pointed to the fallout from Vinicius finishing second in the Ballon d\u2019Or rankings as the point where things started to decline for him. Ancelotti felt that it may have had an impact, but was no longer a factor.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might have affected him a little, but now Vini is close to his best form. He\u2019s playing very well and is being decisive. Vini has a strong character; he doesn\u2019t dwell too much on his mistakes or the criticism he receives. He looks ahead very quickly. I\u2019m sure Vini will arrive at the World Cup in top condition.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the more curious cases at the end of Ancelotti\u2019s tenure was Rodrygo Goes, who was not seen on the pitch between the Copa del Rey final and the Club World Cup. Despite claiming he had a fever at the time, Rodrygo appeared to be struggling with his mental health, and has described it as a \u2018very difficult time\u2019<\/a> \u2013 Ancelotti appeared to be under the impression he was over that.<\/p>\n \u201cGenerally speaking, we all have moments of greater or lesser difficulty in life. When you\u2019re going through a difficult time, you need help from the people around you. Right now, I see Rodrygo doing very well personally, motivated, and happy, which wasn\u2019t the case at the end of last season. It\u2019s not that I did anything in particular; I just understood the problem he was having and tried to help him in the best way I could.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this week Ancelotti explained that \u2018Endrick should discuss what\u2019s best with Real Madrid\u2019, given his lack of minutes under Alonso. Many took that to mean that he would need to move for more game time in order to get back into the Brazil squad.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a very important player because he\u2019s one of the talents to have come out of Brazilian football. We\u2019re evaluating him. But it\u2019s not true that I said Endrick should leave Real Madrid to go to the World Cup. That\u2019s a matter between Real Madrid and the player. Those who say I said that are wrong. He should talk to the club and make the best decision for himself and for Real Madrid. I would never advise Real Madrid on what to do with one of their players. The club knows very well what it has to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Whether Ancelotti meant that or not, it does seem as if Endrick has taken his advice. A loan move to Olympique Lyon is reportedly already in place<\/a> for the January transfer window.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Carlo Ancelotti tells Vinicius Junior ‘he must learn from’ Xabi Alonso bust-up in El Clasico<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former Real Madrid and current Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti has told Vinicius Junior that he was in the wrong during El Clasico, when…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3354,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3452"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3452"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3452\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3454,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3452\/revisions\/3454"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Alonso](\"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Alonso-Vinicius.jpg\")
