Frank confession from Vinicius to Ancelotti after Real Madrid defeat against Barcelona 3-0
Barça – Real Madrid pre-season classic was played in Dallas , which ended 3-0 in favor of Xavi’s team. Many people will say that it’s just another pre-season game, but the truth is that it’s still a classic and everyone wants to win it.
Carlo Ancelotti came out with a very starting eleven: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Valverde, Bellingham; Vinicius, Rodrygo. He repeated for the third time in a row a scheme with 4 midfielders and 2 forwards.
Carletto already warned that with the squad that he had the most natural thing to do was to change the system and play like that, and today it was Ancelotti’s system again.
With this new system of 4 midfielders to adapt the team to the existing squad and, above all, adapt the game to fit Jude Bellingham , Vinicius and Rodrygo up top have to play a little more focused than they did last season.
Ancelotti himself recognized it at a press conference that Vinicius is playing more on the inside and is adapting. The problem with all this is that Vinicius is not comfortable in this way, what he likes is to play close to the band as a pure winger and this system, logically, harms him and he knows that it is not the best for him .
This is how ‘Vini’ told Ancelotti after the match: “Carlo, I don’t like this system as much as the other one… but I’ll improve”. All this could be solved with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé to the team since, in this way, surely Ancelotti would return to the typical 4-3-3, a system with which Vinicius has shown his best level.
