Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has addressed the playing position of Vinicius Junior, affirming that the Brazilian forward is capable of performing exceptionally well both on the wing and in a central role. However, Ancelotti clarified that he has no intention of altering Vinicius’s current position on the field.

Focus on Defensive Issues

Ancelotti emphasised that the team’s primary concern lies not in their attacking capabilities but rather in their defensive performance. This statement aligns with his previous comments criticising the team’s defensive solidity, as reported earlier this week.

Vinicius Junior’s Role and Potential

Vinicius Junior, who has been a key player for Real Madrid, is often highlighted by Ancelotti for his potential, with the manager previously predicting that the young forward could become a future Ballon d’Or winner. Despite his versatility, Ancelotti remains committed to maintaining Vinicius in his current role, focusing instead on addressing the team’s defensive challenges.
