One of the best Italian footballers ever, Alessandro del Piero, spoke for the Spanish media about how great a coach Carlo Ancelotti is.
He gave the example of Vinicius, how Carlo Ancelotti made him a good player: “Vinicius is an extremely talented and fast footballer, just the way he should be in modern football, his knowledge of football is enormous, but he is in the first two years of his stay at Real Madrid He made a lot of mistakes. What’s more, I think he made more wrong moves than good ones. When he needed to pass, he shot, and when he needed to shoot, he played around and passed… And what did Ancelotti do during all that time? Nothing, he had faith in him and was waiting for him to work”.
According to Del Piero, Ancelotti worked a lot individually with the South American to make him one of the best players today.
“He worked with him separately from the team, talked and told him that he believed in him all this time and Vinicius became a player.
One of the most colorful in the world. This shows you how important it is for a coach to be able to evaluate a player and know how to approach him.”
