During the interview, he was also asked about Vinícius Júnior, with whom he previously worked at Real Madrid. The coach explained that he frequently talks with the forward and highlighted the player's behavioral improvement on the field.

“I have already talked to him. A player needs to respect the coach and teammates. He has greatly improved his attitude on the field,” he stated. Ancelotti also compared the Vini of the National Team with the one from Real Madrid. “The Vini who comes here is very different from the one at Real Madrid in terms of human aspects,” the coach concluded.
