Real Madrid came close to losing a three-goal lead against Deportivo Alaves at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, with the final minutes of the match becoming tense after the team conceded two quick goals from the opponent.<\/p>\n
Despite securing the three points, Carlo Ancelotti expressed his concern about the performance in that critical period of the match and warned Real Madrid players against repeating the same thing.
\nAccording to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, one of the players who underwent evaluation after this difficult victory was Jesus Vallejo, who was brought on as a substitute to rest Eder Militao in preparation for the derby match.<\/p>\n
Despite the support he received from the fans, Ancelotti felt that Vallejo’s performance was not up to the required level and the Italian coach became extremely angry with the Spanish player.
\nThe newspaper added that due to the team’s decline in performance when Vallejo came on, the coach decided not to rely on him in any other match throughout the season until he left the team permanently.<\/p>\n
Vallejo had the chance to leave on loan this summer, but he chose to stay at the club in an attempt to gain confidence. However, his chances of doing so seem to have diminished significantly after what happened in the Alaves match.
\nThe newspaper concluded that Modric tried to absorb Ancelotti’s anger towards Vallejo, but the Croatian player failed to do so and Ancelotti decided to exclude him from the matches permanently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
