Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has prohibited his players from arguing with the referee during the upcoming La Liga match against local rivals Atletico Madrid, scheduled for September 29.
This information was reported by Marca. According to sources, the Italian manager was disappointed by his team's behavior in a recent game in La Liga's seventh round against Alaves, which Madrid won 3-2.
In that match, Real Madrid players frequently expressed their disagreement with the referee's decisions, an attitude Ancelotti believes led to a loss of control over the game.
The Italian coach placed special emphasis on his discussions with winger Vinícius Junior, emphasizing that he wants the Brazilian to focus more on the game and less on arguing with the officials.
Previously, Ancelotti confirmed that the club has extended the contract of player Ferland Mendy.
