Ancelotti reportedly told Alonso that “this was the most difficult dressing room of his career.”
Mentioning the players specifically, the Italian claimed “Kylian Mbappe thinks about his records. Vinicius worries about not losing his authority in the team. Federico Valverde wants to play in midfield and doesn’t yet have the maturity expected from a captain.”
