In recent days, Real Madrid has been the subject of discussions involving two of its main players: Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior. The relationship between the athletes became the focus of attention, especially after a period of low productivity for the French striker at the Merengue club.
Recently, a new controversy gained prominence in the Spanish media after Vinícius Júnior took a penalty against Las Palmas. The press questioned Mbappé's possible lack of protagonism, which generated speculation about possible tension between the players. Faced with doubts, coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to speak out to clarify the situation.
In a press conference, Ancelotti stated that the relationship between Mbappé and Vini Jr. behind the scenes at Real Madrid has been excellent. The coach minimized speculation and highlighted that the team has maintained a good offensive performance.
“It hasn't been a problem because we scored goals in every game,” said Ancelotti, reassuring fans regarding the supposed rivalry between the two stars.
Ancelotti also addressed the issue of the positioning of players on the field, highlighting that there will be alternation during matches, but that the left wing continues to be the preferred position of Vinícius Júnior, Real Madrid's number 7.
Regarding penalty kicks, the Italian coach reiterated that both Mbappé and Vini Jr. have the responsibility to take penalties when necessary. However, Ancelotti believes that the players themselves must decide on the field, demonstrating their confidence in the squad.
“I trust my players a lot and they know what to do”, concluded Ancelotti, putting an end to speculation about a possible internal dispute.

Last Wednesday (4), Flamengo held the seventh edition of the Sangue Rubro-negro campaign, at the Gávea headquarters. Hemorio's partner team was at the Gávea headquarters, from 10am to 3pm, collecting blood in the playground's party room. Athletes, employees and associates were able to donate and make a difference: each bag of blood can save up to four lives.
In addition to encouraging blood donation, the campaign also sought to raise awareness about the importance of this act of generosity and how it can save lives. “The partnership with Flamengo Social Responsibility is very important. More than attracting donors, this action seeks to awaken civic and social sentiment, ensure greater dissemination and demystify fears. It is an extremely educational and important action for maintaining stocks”, declared Dr. Renata de Almeida, a Hemorio doctor present at the action.
Blood donation is essential for health units to continue serving patients undergoing treatments and surgeries. The only way to guarantee the blood supply is through voluntary donations.
To donate blood, you must have an official identification document with photo, original or certified copy; be between 16 and 69 years old; be fed and in good health; weigh more than 50 kg; not be pregnant or breastfeeding. For more information about donating blood, visit www.hemorio.rj.gov.br or call 0800 282 0708. Hemorio is located at Rua Frei Caneca, nº 8, in the center of Rio. Donate blood, donate life!
