Ancelotti confirms Real Madrid superstar picked up a knock vs Almeria: “Hit to his knee”
Real Madrid secured a convincing 4-2 win over UD Almeria at the Santiago Bernabeu, but there were some concerns for the Merengues as they lost Vinicius Jr due to a knock he picked up during the game. The Brazilian winger had an impressive game, getting an assist and winning a penalty. He was instrumental in the team's win, but unfortunately, he was unable to complete the match, being substituted off in the 82nd minute.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Vinicius Jr had a knock on his knee but assured the fans that it was nothing serious. He also confirmed that the player would be fit for the Copa Del Rey final against CA Osasuna on May 6. Ancelotti was pleased with Vinicius Jr's performance and called him one of the most important players in the team.
However, Vinicius Jr's injury and his yellow card, which resulted in his suspension for the next La Liga game against Real Sociedad, are a cause of concern for Real Madrid. The team is already without Luka Modric for the Copa del Rey final, and they cannot afford to lose any more key players.
Ancelotti also talked about the performance of Aurelien Tchouameni, saying that he was an important player for the team. He praised the midfielder's defensive abilities but noted that he needed to improve his ball-playing skills. The manager urged Tchouameni not to move too much as he sometimes got out of position.
Real Madrid's win over Almeria was crucial in the La Liga title race, as it put some pressure on Barcelona. Karim Benzema scored another hat-trick, and Rodrygo also found the back of the net. However, the team's defense was a cause for concern as they conceded two goals. Ancelotti admitted that the team relaxed after scoring the third and fourth goals and conceded two late goals. He stressed the importance of maintaining concentration until the end of the game.
In conclusion, Real Madrid's win over Almeria was important in the La Liga title race, but Vinicius Jr's injury and suspension for the next game are a cause for concern. However, Ancelotti is confident that the Brazilian winger will be fit for the Copa Del Rey final. The team needs to maintain their focus until the end of the season to achieve their goals.
