Carles Puyol gave a lot of talk after suggesting that Vinicius Junior would have more recognition if he changed his attitude. Carlo Ancelotti did not take long to react to the former Spanish defender’s statements, with a message of absolute support for his player. Well, Carletto is not opposed to any advice that the Barcelona legend can give the Brazilian, but he clarified that he already notices a considerable improvement in his behavior.

“If Puyol, who has a lot of experience, wants to talk to Vinícius, he should do it personally. I think he continues to make the differences, that’s what we think. That he has to improve his attitude in some circumstances may be yes, but we also think that he has improved a lot and continues to do so,” said the Real Madrid strategist, in statements compiled by Agencia EFE.

Ancelotti, “delighted” with Vinicius

Ancelotti not only pointed out that Vini has shown an evolution in his behavior, but also made it clear that he is fascinated with the former Flamengo player in several aspects: “We are delighted with him, with what he does on the field, which is playing football and trying to do the best. In the last two games it is true that he has been a little out of place at times, but to continue saying that his attitude is not good is not true, because he has improved a lot compared to recent years.

Vinicius recently generated some controversy during the victory against Barcelona in the Clásico, by making gestures to the stands while being replaced in the match. In any case, many times his own way of being has been criticized for a simple celebration or some maneuver on the field of play. Ancelotti has no worries about his player, whom he sees becoming more and more mature as he establishes himself as a figure for Madrid.
