«Real» continues to be in crisis: it has lost for the second time in the Champions League, losing 1:3 at home to «Milan». In addition to the results, the Madrid team continues to gather domestic issues. Just as the scandal about the «Ballon d'Or» had not fully subsided, a new reason for discussion has emerged.
It all started with the early substitution of Federico Valverde at halftime — a key player who always stays on the field until the end under any circumstances. At that moment, Valverde's wife, former journalist Mina Bonino, published the following post on Twitter: «I have to turn this off because I'm about to go crazy and will be locked up somewhere in prison».
In a comment to her, one of the fans responded: «But that was a tactical substitution, Mina. Don't look for anything else here. The match is developing in such a way that Modric cannot be taken off». To which she replied by giving Carlo Ancelotti a lesson in football tactics: «Dude, Fede plays best when he comes out as a holding midfielder. What are you talking about? Ahaha, when will they, f*ck, understand that Fede is not a winger?».
Another user wrote instead: «He stopped at the second goal, it was not his night. The coach made a good decision». Bonino had her own point of view: «He plays as a winger. Did you know? For some reason, I didn't see attackers being blamed for not tracking back. And yet, a fool who seems to be everywhere is scolded».
Accordingly, Ancelotti could not avoid questions about this at the press conference — moreover, he was directly asked about Mina's post: «It's hard to express an opinion on what people write on social media. I substituted Valverde because he was not ready at 100% — he had back problems. It seemed that he had recovered because he trained well yesterday. But we noticed that he was not at his best physical level during the game — that’s why I replaced him».
