Ancelotti: 'I Made Kaka and Vinicius the Best in the World'

Carlo Ancelotti, head coach of Real Madrid, shared his thoughts on his role in developing players like Kaka and Vinicius Junior into world-class footballers. In a recent press conference, Ancelotti emphasized the importance of confidence and proper mentorship in shaping their careers.

"Both Kaka and Vinicius had immense talent, but they needed confidence and guidance to unlock their full potential," said Ancelotti. "Kaka's rise during my time at AC Milan and Vinicius's transformation here at Real Madrid demonstrate the value of belief and hard work."

As Real Madrid prepares for their next match against Sevilla, Ancelotti also commented on the team's form. "We aim to close 2024 on a high note. Returning to Santiago Bernabeu after a series of away matches gives us the boost we need to perform at our best," he added.

The coach praised Kylian Mbappe, stating, "Mbappe has adapted well and is showing a better version of himself after overcoming his recent injury. He’s more motivated and ready to take on new challenges."

Looking ahead to the La Liga season, Ancelotti remarked, "This will be one of the most competitive seasons we've seen in years. Atletico Madrid is a strong contender for the title, and the league can be won with fewer than 90 points."
