00:00The La Liga giants Real Madrid train on Friday ahead of the upcoming round of 28 of La Liga
00:07match against Villarreal on Saturday.
00:10Vinicius Junior missed a training but is not expected to play against Villarreal.
00:15The Madrid head coach Ancelotti defended the move.
00:19We've given him an extra rest day because he's still very tired.
00:23He'll be available tomorrow at his best level ready to help us.
00:26There's nothing wrong with him.
00:28He's just a bit tired.
00:30Both Mbappé and Vinicius have gone through a lot of media scrutiny on their contribution
00:34towards Real Madrid lately.
00:36Mbappé has so far scored 28 goals while Vinicius has netted 18 with 11 assists.
00:41The effectiveness of their partnership is being called into question with Vinicius basing
00:45a crucial penalty in their previous last game against Atletico Madrid.
00:53Vinicius is an unquestionable player for us.
00:55For me he plays better or worse sometimes.
00:57He might have ups and downs but he's unquestionable.
01:01I will never doubt him regarding his performance even if he fails sometimes but he's been so
01:05important for this club and that's why I cannot question him.
01:12Real Madrid now sits in the second place with the same points of leader FC Barcelona with
01:1657 points but with the Catalan side with one game on hand.
