Vinícius Warns Ancelotti before Valencia - Real Madrid: With Mbappé and Me...

The Brazilian is motivated for the Mestalla game

Real Madrid faces 2025 with a very busy January full of games. The white team will debut this year at Mestalla to play against Valencia, in the game postponed due to the DANA. 

Vinícius, who has had a spectacular year, is eager to continue at a very high level. What happened with the Ballon d'Or has especially motivated him, and he desires to prove wrong those who didn't vote for him.

The Brazilian player has contacted Ancelotti during this Christmas break. All this to tell him, among other things, that he understands Mbappé better and better. The level of play of both is very good, and combined on several occasions against Pachuca.

Moreover, he's resting, since he didn't play the last league game against Sevilla. He was suspended for five yellow cards and will arrive with fresh legs. Carletto, for his part, hopes he makes a difference.

The two best in the world

Mbappé and Vinícius are the two best in the world. The club doesn't express who is number 1 and 2. They simply enjoy both and believe they will make history at Santiago Bernabéu.

For this reason, even though at the beginning of the season it seemed they didn't understand each other, within the institution, they remain calm. They know they will start to get along sooner rather than later. After all, they are good, and this duo is destined to bring great joy to Madrid fans.

Special game

Every visit of Vinícius to Mestalla is special. That was the scene where the '7' merengue suffered one of the most lamentable cases of racism in Spanish soccer. Whenever he goes to that stadium, he receives a hostile atmosphere, although last year he managed to score.

In the noble area of Chamartín, they hope and wish he doesn't mentally leave the match, meaning the atmosphere doesn't affect him. Real Madrid needs the best of him to get through a visit that is always complicated.
