Defeated Thursday evening against Atlético with his club Real Madrid (4-2, ap), in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, Vinicius Junior exasperated observers.
If he shone on January 14 against FC Barcelona, scoring a hat-trick in the final of the Spanish Super Cup during the success of Real Madrid (4-1), Vinicius Junior completely missed his meeting Thursday evening against Atlético de Madrid. During this duel won in overtime by Antoine Griezmann and his team (4-2, ap), the Brazilian was never in the rhythm and sometimes seemed concerned by something other than the game. An attitude already decried by the passed and that some observers again noted with dismay during this round of 16 of the Copa del Rey lost by the Merengue.
Among them, Giovanni Castaldi was not the last to criticize the Auriverde international. A few minutes after the meeting, the channel’s journalist The Team got a little carried away. “ There’s just one thing that bothered me about the match. I think Vinicius is a wonderful player. So, he is twenty-three years old, he still needs to mature. He missed his match like some of his teammates, it doesn’t matter, it happens. But once again, his behavior tonight is unbearable. »
“He’s not moving forward in that direction. »
While Didier Roustan, also present on the set, poured out a “ Oh yes, it’s terrible » disillusioned, Carine Galli’s companion continued his reflection. “ I find that he gets lost, that he dissipates, that he loses a lot of energy, that he therefore only did one-on-ones during the entire meeting and that he did not not played with his partners, which he forced because he left his meeting. That’s still what he’s missing. »
The discussion continued with Didier Roustan. The latter then added: “ On the Real goal, he still fools the public with whom he had a problem. I agree, the public shouldn’t react like that, but they are still lighting them on. » And Giovanni Castaldi starts again: “ He only thinks about that. All the time. » Before his interlocutor drops a problematic conclusion for Vinicius Junior: “ He’s not moving forward in that direction. »
