“Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti hints at possible January exit”

Ancelotti Praises Endrick Felipe’s Performance

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti recently defended the performance of Endrick Felipe, a Brazilian player who returned to the starting lineup against Deportiva Minera in the Copa del Rey. Despite not scoring in his first start in three months, Ancelotti was pleased with Felipe’s performance in Murcia.

Ancelotti stated, “He played a good game, scoring is a detail. He moved well, had opportunities, and his movement behind the line of attack was effective. Although he lacked accuracy, his overall performance was very good. He was very dangerous on the right. With patience, he will score goals when needed.”

Ancelotti’s Stance on Player Departures

Ancelotti has made it clear that neither Endrick Felipe nor Arda Guler will be leaving Real Madrid in the January transfer window. However, he was less definitive about Jesus Vallejo potentially departing, stating, “It’s his decision if he leaves. He didn’t play due to discomfort, not other reasons.”

Affection for Vinicius

Vinicius, despite receiving whistles from the fourth-tier home crowd in Cartagena against Deportiva Minera, was defended by Ancelotti. The manager believes that Vinicius does not need more affection from the people of Madrid as he is already recognized as one of the best players in the world. Ancelotti expressed confidence that Vinicius will not face suspension for his red card against Valencia.

Potential Player Exits

While Vallejo is reportedly seeking an exit during the winter transfer window after only featuring for 10 minutes this season, Endrick Felipe has been linked with a loan move away from the club multiple times. However, it seems that Felipe will be staying put at Real Madrid for the time being.
