Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has declared that they will be appealing Vinicius Junior’s red card, after he was dismissed against Valencia for the second time in three years, and just his third red card of his career. The Brazilian raised his arms to Stole Dimitrievski and was dismissed after a VAR review.
Away from the action, Dimitrievski secured a reaction after telling the Brazilian in his face to get to his feet, having gone down in the box. Vinicius shot to his feet and used both hands to push Dimitrievski, but not in the chest, rather his face. Ancelotti still felt that it was not worthy of a sending off.
“We’re going to appeal. What we think is that it wasn’t red, it was two yellows. He has been sent off, but the team has reacted to this difficulty, as it reacted to the missed penalty. We are going to appeal, I don’t know if they will accept it. I haven’t said anything to him, I have congratulated the players, I told them the same things as here.”
Ancelotti was reluctant to say that Vinicius had been baited into the sending off by Dimitrievski.
“It was a touch before from the goalkeeper and then a push from Vini. I think that two yellow cards were enough, the issue was over. I don’t want to say that he fell into the trap. He has tried to do things well, as always, sometimes he succeeds and sometimes a little less. But it ends here. I hope I can play the next game. And nothing more, he continues to be decisive for us.”
After the match, Vinicius took to social media to apologise to his teammates, but he might be sidelined for some time. If their appeal is not successful, Vinicius will face a suspension between two and four games for his actions.
The suspension should be much longer. No Barcelona player would be allowed to touch their nose as we seen with Lewandowski. Vinicius needs to be banned for 12 games for his agression.
@madrid puta
You did not have a common sense
You are saying fucking rubbish what hell you are off to here
You think na barcelona be this.This place is hala madrid
Ancellotr should stop beating about the bush. Vinicious’ nearly costed RM to a bad defeat. He serially loses self-control on the pitch. His usual confrontations with opposing players, and match officials has continued to brought disgrace to RM fans, coaches, management and players. He often brought shame to us as a club. Let him go somewhere else. Our badge is to be worn by disciplined players, not arrogants on display.
Appeal for what?
If Ancelotti continue to keep a blind eye on Vini’s bad attitude, he is doing more harm than good.
Vini will never learn and will continue to be a disgrace to all the Madridsta’s.
He is the first player of this bad attitude to ever don a Real Madrid shirt, I can’t even think of anyone to compare with Vini.
Change your behavior or Florentino will ship you to Saudi Arabia
In my own view refferes are not fear to vini jr.Despite the fact vini jr is a little disturbance.
And morever if u happens to be at the pitch playing ball alittle thing i mean faul we make you to lose controlled only few footballer’s controll their anger.
