After the show and striker Vinícius Júnior’s three goals in Real Madrid’s 4-0 victory over Osasuna on Saturday, in Espanyol, coach Carlo Ancelotti, surrendered to the player on social media.
The Real Madrid coach published a photo of a hug with Vini Jr., on the edge of the pitch, celebrating the Brazilian’s first goal against Osasuna. “Te quiero, Vini (an expression that, in Spanish, has the same meaning as ‘Te amo’, in Portuguese)”, posted Carlo Ancelotti in the caption.
At the press conference after the triumph over Osasuna, Ancelotti was asked about the Ballon d’Or. Vinícius Júnior came in second place, behind Rodri. The coach assured that the Brazilian was not shaken after losing the award.
“For us, he’s the one who makes the difference. The Ballon d’Or is a small detail, and it didn’t affect him, as we saw today,” said Carlo Ancelotti.
In the dispute for the Ballon d’Or, Rodri, from Manchester City, surpassed Vinícius Júnior by just 41 points. France Football magazine, which organizes the awards, released the voting details on Friday.
