Madrid's anger over the attack on Vinicius and Ancelotti's "sorrow and rage": "The shot is wrong"

Vinicius Júnior has returned to the media focus after his statement yesterday before the judge investigating the racist insults he received during the match between Valencia and Real Madrid at Mestalla on May 21. The Brazilian testified by videoconference before the Court of Instruction number 10 of Valencia and insisted, as reported by EFE, that he felt he was a victim of racist insults and that they were generalized, something that prompted a statement from Valencia himself.. “Racism has no place in football or in society, but it cannot be fought with fallacies or unfounded lies,” the Valencian club wrote on its website.

Today, the newspaper 'Superdeporte' calls him 'Pinochius' on its cover and accuses him of lying before the judge. An image that has gone down very badly in Valdebebas, where they are studying the measures to be taken following this attack, which adds fuel to a controversy that seems to have no end..

“They try to deflect the shot, which is that Vinicius was the victim of racial insults, it doesn't matter if they were one or ten. There is a judicial procedure. There are media outlets that want to divert attention from this, it makes me sad and angry,” Carlo Ancelotti said at a press conference.

There are three accused in the investigation, all of them aged between 18 and 21, who Valencia has already banned from accessing Mestalla for life.. With the statement of Vini, who came to stop the Mestalla match and pointed out one of the fans located in the background, the first steps of this procedure end.

Alaba does not arrive at Osasuna

Madrid, who won on Tuesday in Naples, returns to the Santiago Bernabéu this Saturday in what will be a reissue of the last Copa del Rey final. Jagoba Arrasate's team knows what it means to score in Chamartín, so Ancelotti is aware of the difficulty of the match: “We haven't beaten them the last two times, Osasuna always plays good games here.”

The Italian, who has ruled out Alaba for the appointment, admitted that it will be “Mendy or Tchouaméni” who will replace the Austrian. “We have tested Tchouameni these two days in training. The defensive aspect that he uses as a pivot, he can use as a defense. It goes very well over the top. The other is Mendy, who is used to playing in the back line.”

Ancelotti was once again insisted on Luka Modric and the few minutes he is enjoying. “I talk to him every day and I see a player who is obviously not happy for not playing, but that said, he maintains a high motivation and enthusiasm to contribute something to the team, what he contributes in the locker room no one can contribute. It is a charisma , what he contributes to his teammates. I understand perfectly that not playing affects him, it happens to everyone who loves Modric. Fans, teammates, the coach… who also loves him.”
