Ancelotti on the reasons for Modric's anger towards Vinicius: This is the problem

Luka Modric was a key part of Real Madrid's dramatic 3-2 win over Leganes on Wednesday to advance to the Copa del Rey semi-finals. The captain put the visitors ahead 1-0 in the 18th minute with an assist from Rodrygo.

In addition to the goal, the Croatian also stood out for his reaction to Vinicius Junior. After Leganes made up for Real's big lead, they threatened to turn the score around in an attack that Real managed to defend by clearing the ball to the corner. But the captain was angry with the Brazilian for not contributing to the defense in that action.

Cameras captured the situation, which Spanish journalists describe as follows: “Modric shouted at Vinicius: 'Hey, Vinicius, don't make fun of me! You have to go back and help.'” They add that Vinicius reacted harshly to Modric.

Carlo Ancelotti's reaction to this situation has gone viral. Journalists asked the Real Madrid coach for a comment at the press conference immediately after the match and he replied: "Modric got angry with Vinicius? I don't know what happened, but if Modric said something, then it's true. I always agree with Luka Modric. If he speaks, you have to respect him."

Today, two days after the cup match and one day before the city derby against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Ancelotti spoke more seriously about this topic in a new press conference.

Journalists said Modric went crazy over Vinicius because the winger doesn't play defense and pointed out how Real managed to do this when they had the BBC trio of Benzema-Bale-Cristiano Ronaldo at the helm.

"Yes, I am capable of making us play like this and I will do it. This is a problem, but I repeat, it is not just a problem of that part of the team. When we need to play pressing, when we need to do a low block... I am convinced that we can fix it. This is very important because tomorrow we will play against one of the best teams in this regard", declared Ancelotti. /Telegraph/
