Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has admitted he’s angry with treatment of Vinicius Jr by the Valencian press.

Following the racist abuse Vinicius suffered against Valencia last season, the Brazilian recently claimed in a court hearing that he was subject of racist chants from the entire Mestalla crowd last season.

Valencia seem angered by Vinicius’ claim, and the Brazilian has been depicted as Pinocchio on the front page of local newspapers.

Ancelotti is angry about the situation, and told the media: “They are trying to divert the issue, which is that Vinicius was the victim of racial insults, it doesn’t matter if there were one or ten. There is a judicial procedure.

“There are media that want to divert the issue from this, it makes me sad and angry.”

He also said: “I haven’t talked to him about it, I haven’t talked, nobody knows. But he is very good, very motivated and happy to play tomorrow.”
