The head coach of Brazil, Carlo Ancelotti, cautioned Xabi Alonso, who succeeded him as the manager of Real Madrid, about the contentious players in the locker room, according to reports.
Spanish football analyst, Guillem Balague, disclosed this information in his column for the BBC.
Balague noted that Ancelotti was aware that Alonso would struggle to manage the egos of certain squad members.
Ancelotti allegedly informed Alonso that “this was the most challenging dressing room of his career.”
Specifically mentioning the players, the Italian remarked, “Kylian Mbappe is focused on his records. Vinicius is concerned about maintaining his authority within the team. Federico Valverde aspires to play in midfield but lacks the maturity expected from a captain.”
This revelation comes at a time when reports from Spain suggest that Alonso has lost control of the Madrid locker room following a series of poor results.
There are now widespread speculations that Alonso could be dismissed if the team suffers a defeat against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
