Magical things always happen at Bernabeu - Vinicius warns Arsenal

Ancelotti changed me as a player – Vinicius Jr

Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr says he owes his form to coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Vini Jr has been superb for Real this season.

Ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final he said of his coach: “He’s done everything for me. He’s always given me confidence, and scolded me when I’ve needed it. We’ve developed a really good relationship. He cares about me as much as I care about him.

“He’s changed me as a player – not just on the pitch, but also in the way I think about coaching and development. He says that humility is my greatest virtue, because I always listen to others.

“When I score a goal in a game, I always want my teammates to score as well, so I’m in a better position. I’m not moved by vanity, to play with the best players, the big stars. Every day he teaches me more on and off the field.”
