Alaves coach on Endrick kick-out: 'It's a red card'
Briefly

Luis Garcia Plaza argued that Endrick should have received a red card for his off-the-ball knee strike on Santiago Mouriño, emphasizing VAR's role in crucial decisions. "It's a clear red, nobody can say it wasn't. If the referee didn't see it, that's what the VAR is for. Maybe they got more yellows than they should have, but for Endrick, it's a red."
Carlo Ancelotti responded to the incident by stating he couldn't comment as he hadn't seen the replay, stressing the need for his team to manage their disciplinary matters. "I can't give my opinion, I didn't see it, and I haven't seen a reply. We have to avoid picking up so many yellow cards for dissent."
Ancelotti acknowledged the new rules impacting player behavior on the field, indicating a need for his team to adapt to avoid unnecessary bookings. "The rules have changed, and we have to get used to it. It's not fair or unfair, we have to adapt."
Regarding Kylian Mbappé's substitution, Ancelotti clarified the decision was precautionary to prevent injury, highlighting his concern for player fitness ahead of upcoming matches. "He's fine, he got a knock and he asked to be subbed to avoid any problems."
