Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti declared at the weekend that he will play at the level he did against Girona, Vinicius Junior it was the best in the world. He doubled down on that rating on Monday.
The Blancos will then make a statement in La Liga, and open a five-point gap on the Catalans, to return to European action in Germany against RB Leipzig. Ancelotti was asked again about Vinicius on Monday.
“If he gets that continuity, yes. He has a lot of quality and puts a lot of intensity into his dribbles and sprints… If he does it consistently during the 90 minutes, you'll see why there are rivals who can't deal with him in the second half,” explained Ancelotti forward. of their match with RB Leipzig.
Vinicius was heavily involved in their win over Girona, scoring a screamer to open the scoring, and coming up with a brilliant assist for Jude Bellingham. After that match too, he motivated Vinicius to do so more consistently, stating that when he “plays with attitude” he is the best in the world.
It was also said that six months into the season, Real Madrid have only lost twice, and that this could be their best season ever, after significant debate over whether this was Toni Kroos' best.
“Like a streak, maybe like that… I see a solid team, serious, motivated, with a good atmosphere, no one complains, everyone contributes… Everything is going well at the moment despite so many difficulties we have had… It was thanks to the character of the players.”
Last year, Ancelotti often immediately stated that the dressing room was one of the best he had as a manager, and later in the press conference he again pointed to the character of the veterans as a key factor in the smooth transition to the younger ones. generation
