Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Vinicius Jr wants to play football; they provoke him

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti hit out at Real Mallorca's players after yesterday's defeat at San Moix.

Vinicius Jr was target by home fans and Mallorca's players throughout the game.

Ancelotti said: "Everything that has happened is not Vinicius's fault.

"He wants to play soccer and then they provoke him.

"This is what happens. You have to change the focus, because everyone thinks it's Vinicius's fault. You have to look at what happened.

"I have to study what to avoid fouls. They have forgotten about the repetition of fouls, that is a yellow card. In the first-half we came out with two yellow cards and Mallorca with zero."
