The Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti ruled out on Tuesday that the racist attacks suffered by Vinícius Junior in several Spanish stadiums cause the Brazilian striker to analyze the idea of leaving the club and assured that "he loves football and Real Madrid above all".
The rumors were unleashed around the figure of Vinícius, very affected after the last chapter of racism he suffered in Mestalla and that in the last hours launched a heartbreaking message. In Brazil there are media that report that his environment suggested an exit from Spanish football, something that Ancelotti denied in a press conference.
"
I think not because Vinícius loves football and Real Madrid above all. I think his thinking is not this at the moment because the love for Real Madrid is very great, so he wants to make his career and have his role in this team.

"
Vinícius is in love with Real Madrid, he likes this club a lot, he is fighting for it and he knows that his future has to be here. Then a lot of things happen in people's heads, but their main idea in their head is not this. What he feels is that he wants to work and play for Real Madrid," he added.
Ancelotti did not hide the discouragement he saw in Vinicius in the conversations they had since the incident at Mestalla and thanked the affection that his player is receiving from colleagues of rival clubs.
"I spoke to him after the game and obviously he is very sad, but he knows very well that he has the support of everyone, not only Real Madrid and his teammates, but also the rivals support him unconditionally. In this sense he is very calm."
