Entering in the 63rd minute of play yesterday against Rayo Vallecano (3-3) in place of Brahim Diaz, Vinicius Jr collected a yellow card ten minutes later for protest. As a result, the Brazilian will miss the Sevilla reception next weekend due to an accumulation of yellow cards, he who had already been sanctioned against Bétis Sevilla, Espanyol Barcelona, Alavés and FC Barcelona. Asked about his player’s attitude after the match, the Italian did not fail to be blunt: “I don’t want to talk about it” he declared in comments reported by Real France before deciding on the status of replacement of his star at kick-off: “He played 90 minutes the other day and he had a good match.”
Ancelotti doesn’t want to talk about it!
He then spoke more generally about the meeting: “We had clear chances, a possible penalty… I don’t know if we could have done better up front. I liked Rodrygo’s match, it bodes good things. He got back to his best level, we told him to play on the left and he was very good. He needed it. Winning the Intercontinental would be the icing on this year’s cake. Sometimes you have to suffer, we suffered tonight. We started the match without many starters. Without 7 starters but the others played very, very well” he explained before concluding on Aurélien Tchouaméni as central defender: “It’s not forever, it’s an emergency. We’ll see when everyone is there. I know I can count on him. He is not used to playing in defense but he found good solutions to get the ball out.”
