Inevitably, questions about Vinicius Junior also dominated Carlo Ancelotti’s press conference after he came back against Borussia Dortmund to win 5-2. Because the Brazilian led a clean return – with the permission of Courtois – and because next Monday the Ballon d’Or will be awarded and ‘Carletto’ is clear about this, “I think Vinicius will win, but not because of this game, but all of last year. “These three goals will be used for the next Ballon d’Or.”he confirmed.
The Brazilian still surprises his coach. “It is not difficult to see the second half as Vinicius has incredible strength, stamina and form,” he added.
He regretted the lack of energy in the first half
Ancelotti confirmed that Vinícius has the right experience in Spain and celebrated that he has reduced the problem of racism. “I think he has the respect he deserves, the player whistles for him because he can change. He is stopping the issue of racism with him. They cry and that’s normal. “He is respected in this country.”
Regarding the game, he showed the word “power” several times, although he recognized the effort to return. “It’s difficult to say why there is a lack of energy at times. The goal is not to wait for two to score goals before responding, even if you cannot play 90 minutes like 45 in the second half. But we have a limit and we will achieve it.” And he did not hesitate to say that “the second half can be time very important in this season, he will teach us a lot.”
