Luka Modric scolded Vinicius Jr. during the match against Leganés for his lack of defensive commitment. Carlo Ancelotti defended the Croatian.
Real Madrid 'almost' faced embarrassment in their visit to Leganés at Butarque. In the match corresponding to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, the merengues saw how the pepineros came back from a 0-2 deficit and leveled the score, threatening extra time that would take a toll on them for the Madrid derby. However, Gonzalo García saved the day at the last moment and secured the semi-final spot for the whites.
However, the last minutes of the match were of high tension for the Madrid players, due to the frustration of having lost a two-goal lead and the inability to generate dangerous chances and be solid in defense. This situation left a striking scene that demonstrates the serious internal problems that are igniting the White House.
Modric scolded Vinicius and Ancelotti agreed with him
In a play where Madrid had to regroup, Vinicius Jr., who can no longer escape controversy even with his own teammates, neglected the play, generating the fury of Luka Modric. The Croatian approached the Brazilian clearly upset by his lack of defensive commitment, gesturing with open arms and evident discontent.
At the end of the match, Carlo Ancelotti was asked about it in the press conference and the coach sided with the veteran midfielder. "If Modric said it, we must respect what Modric says always", the Italian stated. Thus, the attitudes of the merengue '7' are beginning to harm his relationship with the locker room, which is increasingly fed up with the constant 'whining' and the 'arrogance' of the controversial player.
