Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti hailed Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior as a special player following his performance in the 4-1 victory over Mallorca on Sunday.

Vinicius Junior was named the official Man of the Match after he scored the winner against Mallorca.

Ancelotti said: “He’s a special player with the way he plays, but sometimes his style of play can irritate opponents. He always looks to dribble regardless of whether the team is winning or losing.

“At times when an opponent is losing, they can get angrier than usual. It’s all part of football and he’s going to learn gradually from his experiences.”

Ancelotti added: “The referee must be respected in every sense. Vini Jr. possesses extraordinary quality and the opposition is often a bit harder on him than usual. His attitude doesn’t need to change at all, he has the utmost respect for the opposition and the referee. If he doesn’t he’ll have to do so.”
