“Vinicius Jr will return against Atalanta”. Speaking at the press conference, mister Carlo Ancelotti revealed when the Brazilian striker from Real Madrid will return and also spoke about the recovery of the other injured player David Alaba. “It’s good news for us. Vinícius had an injury from which he recovered very well. He will be ready for the Champions League match against Atalanta. Alaba’s return has motivated us a lot, but he needs another month to be ready and be able to play in January. Now in December he will continue to work individually and slowly integrate into training with the team”, declared the coach blancos on the attacker and the defender.
On the many criticisms received, Ancelotti then added: “I have to accept it, the team is not expressing the best of itself and, as always in football, the coach is the main person responsible. Having said this, it seems to me that too much criticism is coming. Maybe it’s tired of me. I’m not tired. I understand criticism, it’s acceptable. Sometimes it’s fuel, it gives me energy.”
Finally, a joke on the Mbappé case: “He is aware of what he is doing and what he can do. We are with him. He is a player who is not showing his best version, but there are others who are not and they’re not even aware that they’re not doing it.”
