The coach says the Brazilian forward loves football and club Meringue above all else
The coach Charles Ancelotti excluding this Tuesday the departure of Vinicius Junior From real Madridin the wake of the strong backlash from the racist attacks that the Brazilian suffered on Sunday, and revealed that he had considered removing Real from the field in the match in which the striker was the object of abuse by fans of the Valencia at the Mestalla stadium.
“I spoke to Vinícius to ask him if he wanted to continue (on the field) and the referee asked him to continue. The matter ended there, but obviously it’s a personal decision that we can make at the moment. I may have the responsibility in the future to remove the player on the pitch and also to take the whole team off the pitch. It wouldn’t be my responsibility, but I hope I don’t have to make that drastic decision because there is a judge on the pitch who has this kind of responsibility,” said the coach.
Ancelotti returned to defending the Brazilian and has ruled out any possibility of leaving the club, despite claims by Vini Jr. that he would be uncomfortable in Spanish football due to recurring instances of racism.
“I don’t think (he should leave), because Vinícius loves football and Real Madrid above all else. I think that’s not what he’s thinking right now because he loves Real Madrid so much. So he wants to make a career and have his role in this team,” the coach said. “Vinicius is passionate about Real Madrid, he really likes this club, he’s fighting for it and he knows his future must be here. After that, many things go through people’s minds, but it’s not his main idea. He feels he wants to to work and play for Real Madrid”.
The Real coach also criticized the VAR in Sunday’s match, which led to the Brazilian’s dismissal in the final minutes of the match, but not that of striker Hugo Duro from Valencia. The player gave a naked choke to the Real player, who reacted with a slap in the face of his rival. “The manipulation of the images is quite serious. Vini Jr. was attacked first by the goalkeeper and then by Hugo Duro. If someone is attacked, he has to defend himself. Here’s what happened.”
KNEE PAIN
Ancelotti revealed that Vinícius Júnior did not train on Tuesday due to knee pain. And he said he didn’t know the seriousness of the problem or if the forward had become a doubt for Real’s last few games of the season.
“Today he didn’t train because he felt pain in his knee and we are waiting to find out what his punishment will be (he was sent off on Sunday). Then we can also open another debate. We want to prepare for tomorrow’s match (Wednesday) with all determination and enthusiasm as possible,” said Ancelotti, referring to the home match against Rayo Vallecano.
