Ancelotti refuses to give Real Madrid star another chance after his poor performance against Barcelona
Real Madrid suffered a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in the first Clasico of the season, placing them 6 points behind the league leaders, Barcelona, and in second place. Substitutes often await opportunities to showcase their talent, especially during challenging periods. Ancelotti has decided not to give a certain Real Madrid star another opportunity following a disappointing performance against Barcelona.
Substitutes are always eager for a chance to demonstrate their abilities, especially when key players are sidelined. However, this does not apply to Spanish defender Lucas Vazquez, who is completely out of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans at Real Madrid. Despite having a significant opportunity to start due to Carvajal’s injury, the coach has little faith in him.
With uncertainty surrounding the potential acquisition of a right-back during the January transfer window, Ancelotti plans to utilize another option rather than rely on Vazquez after his poor performance against Barcelona. According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Ancelotti intends to favor a French player over Uruguayan Fede Valverde in that position until a right-back is signed.
The Madrid outlet emphasized that Ancelotti has zero confidence in Vazquez following his display in the Clasico, effectively closing off any chances for the player in the near future.
