Real Madrid vs Cádiz: Carlo Ancelotti held a press conference ahead of the match versus Cádiz. Vinicius emerged as the protagonist following the encounter against Rayo, in which the Brazilian was the centre of controversy due to provocations and roughness in various parts of the contest against the player. The coach has defended Vini and defended Benzema, who is also missing for this final game before the World Cup.
How he approaches the contest: “It is true that it is the year’s final unforgettable event, with magnificent nights to close on a high note. There are numerous things, including having a nice remembrance of this unforgettable year.”
The state of Benzema: “Nothing has troubled me. He hasn’t been able to assist the team, but he has made an effort. He hasn’t been able to return with this minor annoyance “.
The conflict with Vinicius: “I agree, Vini appears to be a provocateur, and he is the one who receives the most fouls, slaps, and pushes… The truth is different, and you should not disrespect him in football or in your personal life. You must have it not only for the best players, but for everyone. Fair play is rarely mentioned in Spain, but it is considerably more common in other nations. And it can be the most significant aspect of football.”

If rotations have been lacking? : “I think it’s necessary, but you have to look at the dynamics of the players, and removing players like Rodrygo or Valverde who score in every game is a little unusual.”
The provocations to Vinicius: “There he has to improve, but provoking is not fair play, one enters the field to play football, not to provoke, but of course he can improve because he is young and he is going to do it. The provocation is not habitual, the one who does it is not correct. And it is difficult to teach that because he thinks there is no provocation.”
Some believe that Benzema has been erased…: “I’m not required to tell them anything. The first victim is Karim, who arrives to the World Cup. Without having played enough minutes to be in peak shape. It’s rubbish, and I don’t believe it. It’s not a major issue.”
