Vinicius Junior has started this season in scintillating form for Real Madrid, but not everyone at the White House is pleased with the Brazilian.
No player has been as crucial to Los Blancos in their opening matches, scoring 5 goals and assisting once during their six matches.
The latest of those goals came against Real Mallorca on Sunday. The match finished 4-1 to Real Madrid but it ended with Vinicius shouting at Mallorca manager Javier Aguirre. Marca say that Aguirre was telling his players to ‘hit him’ during the match, which Vinicius had taken issue with. He was calmed down by his own manager, Carlo Ancelotti.
That was not the full story though either. Cadena SER reported on Monday night that Vinicius was doing his best to provoke the Mallorca players all game, asking them “What? You think you are going to win?”
It is not the first time that Vinicius has been involved in similar incidents. Diario AS carried the story and seemingly Vinicius has been told “a thousand times” to improve his behaviour on the pitch. The Real Madrid dressing room have repeatedly spoken to him about his attitude but nothing has changed.
While Vinicius’ behaviour is hardly criminal, it seems to rub up opposition players the wrong way. While that might be preferable and plenty of players have been praised in the past for their mind games, it does clash with the stately image that Real Madrid project to the world.
Vini should stay focused and listen to his teammates…… Be humble
Youre quoting Marca, a yellow press tabloid with a repertoire that consists of half-nude pictures of women linked to their social media, celebrity gossips and “scandals” and American democrat party talking points lobbying (with a few football articles squeezed in between).
Needless to say, source is not even worth wiping your behind with.
AS is no better by the way.
The opposition coach should not tell his players to hit him hard the la liga officials should investigate and caution him, how can he encourage that kind of play
Vini should calm down and focuse on how to win a game for the club
He has been doing that so far. Seven out if seven isnt good enough?
Unsportmanship behaviour
