Carlo Ancelotti praised Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior\u2019s development as a player and person ahead of Real Madrid\u2019s Copa del Rey round-of-16 tie with Atl\u00e9tico Madrid today, saying adding variety to the forward\u2019s game has made him \u201cmore dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vin\u00edcius, 23, starred in Madrid\u2019s 4-1 Cl\u00e1sico thrashing of Barcelona in Sunday\u2019s Spanish Supercopa final in Saudi Arabia, scoring a hat trick, before admitting that he wants to improve his behaviour on the pitch.<\/p>\n
The Brazil forward \u2014 who has missed two-and-a-half months of action this season with two thigh injuries \u2014 said \u201cI\u2019m no saint\u201d after clashing with Barca\u2019s players during the game in Riyadh and accepted that \u201csometimes I talk too much,\u201d but also said he \u201cwants to improve\u201d and be a role model.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Vin\u00edcius] is back to his best level after his injury,\u201d Ancelotti said in a news conference yesterday. \u201cHe needed some time. He scored [in the Supercopa final] in different ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s learning to play on the inside as well as the outside, that makes him more dangerous. He\u2019s much less predictable, changing his position, and combining well with Rodrygo [Goes]. And I liked what he said [after the match] even more than the three goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Copa del Rey tie at Atl\u00e9tico\u2019s Metropolitano today is a second Madrid Derby in eight days, after Real Madrid won a thrilling Supercopa semifinal 5-3 last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat game was evenly-matched,\u201d Ancelotti said. \u201cIt went to extra time. Tomorrow will be even more difficult. They play at home, and at home they\u2019re playing well\u2026 I\u2019m convinced it will be even more difficult than in the Supercopa.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Italian coach was asked whether Atl\u00e9tico\u2019s players ought to welcome Real Madrid onto the field with a guard of honour as newly crowned Supercopa champions, a source of contention between the clubs in recent years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI respect the decision of each club,\u201d Ancelotti said. \u201cIf they do it, perfect. If they don\u2019t, perfect. It\u2019s not very important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing has changed since last time,\u201d Atl\u00e9tico coach Diego Simeone said yesterday, referring to May 2022, when Atl\u00e9tico refused to give Real a guard of honour as LaLiga champions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have huge respect for the coach and the players. But in terms of respect, our fans come first.\u201d<\/p>\n
