“Zidane has been a drag for Vinicius because Ancelotti lets the youngsters progress”

Real Madrid hit the table at the Camp Nou, proving to be a more finished team than Barcelona. Goals from Alaba and Lucas Vázquez made Agüero’s last goal on the horn useless, but there was another great winner in addition to the afternoon’s scorers: Vinicius Junior. The winger had a present duel and, above all, a lot of future with Ansu Fati and came out the winner: mainly in the first part where it was irrepressible for the Blaugrana defense. Doubtful Vini is part of the past and that has been one of the issues they discussed on ‘Cadena SER’, both during the match and later, on ‘Carrusel Deportivo’.

“99% of Vinicius’s success is because of him, but there are gestures that don’t suit him”, analyzed Antonio Romero after the game. And that remaining 1% could be attributed to Carlo Ancelotti, at least, according to Jesús Gallego’s answer about whether Zidane had been a drag on the Brazilian: “Yes, because Ancelotti lets young people progress”. With the French, Vinicius did not have the title assured and entered and left the team with the same speed that accelerates on the wing. Of course, his version was very different from the current one. The 11 goals and 11 assists for Marseille (in 90 games) are already threatened by this Vinicius ‘made in Ancelotti’: 7 goals and 5 assists in 12 games.

Another of the young people who had the spotlight on him was Eric García, but the center-back, who could not prevent Lucas Vázquez’s goal after losing his career and position to the Real Madrid player, did not have the best of matches. “Eric García has been very white in the action of Lucas’ goal”, said Enrique Ortego, a collaborator of AS, in ‘Onda Cero’. While Santi Cañizares, in ‘COPE’, went further: “Eric García’s play in Lucas’ goal is terrible, but terrible.”

“Barça thinks they have a mediocre squad …”

With regard to the clash in general, in Carrusel a common point was reached, Madrid won, but with just enough. “A correct Madrid and a computer has been enough to win, that is the worst news for Barça “Julio Pulido said. And it is that, “Barça believes they have a mediocre squad and it will end up undermining them”, as Mario Torrejón replied. Lluís Flaquer, for his part, wanted to analyze two of the players from the Blaugrana squad: “I don’t expect anything from Coutinho, so I am even more disappointed by De Jong”. The best in the local midfield was a Busquets who would have needed a hand from Frenkie to have changed the face of the Classic.
