Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that he’s not happy with the kind of treatment meted on Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr.

The Brazilian is often on the receiving end from opposition defenders, but hardly gets the protection of referees.

Vinicius often loses it when decisions go against him, which explains why Ancelotti subbed him off when he was on a yellow card.

“I told [Vinicius] to play his game,” Ancelotti said in his post-match news conference after the 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.

“He’s a great player first of all. But he’s very sensitive … everyone pushes him. Opponents kick him, opposition fans, sometimes referees. Today he got a yellow card, but he got kicked a lot.

“We have to remember he’s very young and he’s under pressure from everyone. Sometimes maybe he loses his focus, but he’s very young. I love him. We want him to be respected by everyone a bit more.”
