Vinicius Jr.’s controversies at Real Madrid have reportedly begun to wear on manager Carlo Ancelotti’s patience.
According to Cadena COPE, Ancelotti is increasingly frustrated with the ongoing issues surrounding the Brazillian winger. The latest incident occurred when Vinicius was shown a red card for shoving Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dmitrievski in the face during a recent match.
The report highlights Ancelotti’s dissatisfaction, quoting sources saying, “Ancelotti’s not stupid and he knows that because of Vinicius Madrid did not go to collect an award for him, that for Vinicius Madrid did not collect the award for the best team.”
This refers to Real Madrid‘s notable absence from the Ballon d’Or ceremony last December, where they were slated to recieve an accolade for being the best team.
Vinicius was suspended for Real Madrid’s next two La Liga fixtures following the Spanish FA’s decision to uphold his red card, has had a tumultuous season. Despite setbacks from injuries and suspensions, the 24-year-old has still managed to register 13 goals and 5 assists for Los Blancos so far.
