“Vinicius loves football and Real Madrid above all. I think that this is not his thought at the moment because the love for Real Madrid is very great,” said the Italian coach.
The Italian DT Carlo Ancelotti ruled out on Tuesday that the racist attacks against Vinícius Junior in several Spanish stadiums cause the Brazilian forward to analyze the idea of leaving the club and assured that “he loves football and Real Madrid above all”.
Rumors were unleashed around the figure of Vinícius, very affected after the last chapter of racism that he suffered in Mestalla and that in the last hours he sent a heartbreaking message. In Brazil there are media outlets that report that his environment suggested a departure from Spanish football, something that Ancelotti denied at a press conference.
“I think not because Vinícius loves football and Real Madrid above all. I think his thinking is not this at the moment because the love for Real Madrid is great, so he wants to make his career and have his leading role in this team “, he defended.

“Vinícius is in love with Real Madrid, he really likes this club, he is fighting for it and he knows that his future has to be here. Afterwards, many things go through people’s heads, but this is not the main idea in his head. What he feels is that he wants to work and play for Real Madrid,” he added.
Ancelotti did not hide the discouragement he saw in Vinicius in the conversations they had since the incident at Mestalla and he thanked the affection his player is receiving from fellow professionals from rival clubs.
“I spoke to him after the game and he is obviously very sad, but he knows very well that he has the support of the whole world, not just Real Madrid and his teammates, the rivals also support him unconditionally. In this sense, he is very calm” .
