Pursued in the field

Before Real Madrid ‘s clash against Celta Vigo, Carlo Ancelotti, the team’s coach, made strong statements in defense of Vinicius Jr.

During the press conference held this Saturday (9), Ancelotti expressed his indignation at what he called the persecution of the Brazilian player, especially by the European media.

The Italian coach highlighted that Vinicius has been the target of excessive criticism and even aggression on the field, but continues to contribute goals and assists to the team.

“I looked a little back in history and statistics… I’ve never seen a player as persecuted as Vinicius. They talk and do everything with him, what do you need to do? They hit him, they insult him, they boo him… He scores goals and gives assists. I think everyone needs to change their attitude towards Vini”, said Ancelotti.

Wrongful

Furthermore, the coach criticized the Spanish press’ approach towards the player, especially after the episode in which Vinicius received a yellow card for pushing an opposing player during the match against RB Leipzig, in the UEFA Champions League.

“Never has a player with so much talent suffered so much. In Vallecas they gave him a karate blow to the head and there wasn’t even a yellow card and now they are asking for a red card for him for a push against Leipzig. When you have to evaluate something, you don’t need to wear the shirt”, added Ancelotti.

These statements reflect Ancelotti’s vehement defense of Vinicius Jr. and his call for a change in the way the player is treated by the press and opponents.

In the middle of the week, an old acquaintance of Real Madrid fans criticized the Brazilian. Pedja Mijatovic , club idol, said that the Brazilian “screams at opponents and his teammates” and that it is necessary to “reassure him as if he were a child”, due to the Brazilian’s attitudes in the 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig
