Carlo Ancelotti: “I don’t think Real Madrid suffers from Vinicius-dependency”

Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Real Madrid, confirmed the return of Brazilian Vinícius Junior against Valencia, once the coronavirus was overcome, praising the player’s performance in the first round but ruled out that his team suffers from ‘Vinicius-dependency’.

“I don’t think that Real Madrid has ‘Vinicius-dependency’, we have had a player who has done very well in the first part of the season and who has helped us win the games as Benzema, Militao and others have also done. Talking about dependency is very exaggerated. Come back, he is very well and happy”, He assured at a press conference.

For Ancelotti his team with the presence of ‘Vini’ wins a lot in attack. “It gives us overflow one on one, the opportunity to do against, the continuity he has had and the goals he has scored, he has contributed a lot. If I have to highlight one thing, it is that if you leave it spaces it is very dangerous“, he claimed.

Far from that performance is still the Belgian Eden Hazard, who after improving his physical condition, his coach still lacks the confidence to return to being the destabilizing player that he was. “Right now what he needs is to play again with the confidence he had before”‘Carletto’ said clearly. “I think he is very close to his best level, hopefully we can see his best games soon”.

Despite the return in the last training session of Dani Carvajal to the group, the Madrid coach reported that he will not play against Valencia and will be reserved for the Spanish Super Cup where he hopes to recover Serbian Luka Jovic and maintains the doubts of Mariano Díaz, for a small muscle breakage, and the Welshman Gareth Bale with back problems.

“Bale is not available for Valencia, like Mariano, Jovic or Carvajal who will travel to Arabia because he has the possibility to play. Also Jovic who is still positive but with a very low load. We have to value Mariano and Bale for Arabia”, He concluded.
