Roncero: Vinicius must consciously return to defense instead of just waiting for the coach s instructions

Hupu News on November 11 After Real Madrid lost to Liverpool in the Champions League, Rayo Vallecano stopped their winning streak in La Liga. Xavi Alonso's side were unable to break through the home side's solid defense in the first half, with Rayo Vallecano standing out with his relentless pressure.

Vinicius is Real Madrid's most outstanding player. He tried to create threats on the left many times. However, during the live broadcast of the 'Carrusel' program, Vinicius's attitude made Roncero angry because Rayo Vallecano's right back Latiu - known for his extremely fast speed - successfully broke through from the wing guarded by the Brazilian player many times.

Former football player Rafa Alcorta explained: "This is a small detail that requires cumulative improvement. It may be related to the fact that Alonso has not been coaching long enough and the team has not yet fully understood his requirements."

However, Roncero completely disagreed with this view. He said: "This is not a detail that needs to be polished, but a job that every football player must do. You know that you are playing at Rayo Vallecano's home court. You have to keep going up and down and give it your all... I don't need the coach to tell me that I have to go back to defend and mark this guy." "

Roncero added: "This does not require waiting for the coach's instructions. Vinicius must return to defense by himself, rather than the coach telling him: 'Hey, you remember when Latiu advances, you must return to defense, and you cannot let A Fei stay behind'. This is simply part of your job. "
