Carlo Ancelotti has decided to put an end to rumors of tension between Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé. The Real Madrid coach affirmed that the two players have an excellent relationship.
“I don’t see anything… except that they get along very, very well,” he said.
Since Mbappé’s arrival at the Spanish club, speculation has circulated about a possible rivalry with Vinícius. Some observers suggest a competition for the team’s star status.
Others speak of a difficult relationship on the pitch. Ancelotti dismissed these rumors. For him, there is no conflict between the two strikers.
The Italian coach relies on facts. In the last match against Rayo Vallecano, Vinícius and Mbappé shone. Each scored a goal, demonstrating an effective partnership.
Carlo Ancelotti observes their collaboration and detects no signs of tension: “Mbappé and Vinícius play together, seeking and finding each other. Their understanding is natural.”
Real Madrid, in the middle of the season, cannot afford unnecessary controversy. The team is aiming for multiple titles and needs total unity.
The Italian coach knows this. He therefore wants to protect his dressing room and cut off outside distractions. By publicly affirming the good relationship between his two stars, he avoids any destabilization.
The Italian coach has always managed egos with skill. He has managed great players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimović, and Paolo Maldini.
His experience allows him to maintain a good atmosphere within the squad. “My goal is to have a united team. Vinícius and Mbappé are part of a collective. They know they must work together to succeed,” he explained.
Will doubts persist? It’s hard to say. The two forwards’ performances on the pitch will remain the best indicator. If Vinícius and Mbappé continue to play well and score goals, the question of their relationship will disappear.
Ancelotti has taken the lead. He’s imposing a clear and positive message. The message is simple: no tension, just football.
