Carlo Ancelotti has predicted that Venus Jr. will return to Arsenal in the Champions League against Arsenal in the Champions League, after the striker scored the first goal from the penalty spot and changed 2-1 at home to Valencia.
Brazil international Vinicius has rejected a chance to score when his initial kick was rescued by Georgi Mamardashville at the Santiago Bernabeu, although the 24-year-old equalized before the winner of Hugo Duro’s stroke.
“I haven’t talked to him and it’s not necessary,” Ancelotti said. “I think it’s good to play better against Valencia,” he said.
But when he thinks he hasn’t played well, he will play the next game very well.

Arsenal ‘a good decision’ for Odigard
Ancelotti added: Odigard is now the same as the 16-year-old. “Nothing has changed in this regard, he had the personality and courage to go out and find the experience to return and become one of the best in Europe.
