Vinicius Jr scored a goal in Real Madrid's 1-3 win over Almeria, but his performance was rather lacklustre. During the match, the 'DAZN' cameras caught a scolding or warning from Carlo Ancelotti to the Brazilian for not defending.
The left winger tried to justify himself, but his coach made it clear that he did not want him to slacken off again. Carlo's reprimand was effective, as from that moment on he became more involved in defensive duties. What's more, he scored the goal that sealed victory for the club from the Spanish capital.
At the press conference, Carlo Ancelotti praised Vinicius' performance, although he admitted that "sometimes he makes me a little angry because he takes too many risks, but the balance is good because of the quality he possesses".
The win over Almeria sees Real Madrid continue their unbeaten run in La Liga with their second win in as many games.
