In Spain, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is renowned for being one of the most affable and entertaining press conferences.
An attitude that explains why he stands out so much when he changes his tone. When asked about Vinicius Junior's injury, Ancelotti showed a much tougher side.
The Brazilian forward is expected to miss the next three weeks with a hamstring problem. On Tuesday, he was asked if he shouldn't have given Vinicius more rest. “I have made 1300 compositions, no one can question me”, the Italian replied quite directly.
Ancelotti annoyed by questions
According to Cadena SER, this is partly explained by the internal doubts at Real Madrid which tend to find their way into the local press. Ancelotti felt that whenever things went wrong or results deteriorated, his decisions were immediately questioned, despite his success. His comments in his pre-match press conference before the Liverpool clash were his way of pounding the table for his job.
Ancelotti is well aware that job security is very limited in the Spanish capital, but he never enjoyed the unwavering support of Zinedine Zidane or Jose Mourinho at the time. Rumors persist that the club could soon replace Ancelotti with Xabi Alonso…
