If Kylian Mbappé has been criticized for his complicated start to the season at Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr is also strongly criticized by the Madrid press. Especially after this celebration against Real Sociedad, during which he made the “shush” gesture to the rival fans. The Spanish media even explained that the Brazilian had lost a lot of support internally because of his behavior, but Dani Carvajal, present in front of the press this Monday, greatly defended his striker.

“Vinicius’ celebrations after his goal? Completely understandable. We’ve heard a lot of insults about him. When you prick him, he bleeds. I’ve always been clear about that. We must do everything we can to avoid racism on football pitches.”defended the Madrid captain. “The insults… no one could stand them, not even me. The gesture of putting your hand to your mouth is normal, because of everything that is happening (…) What has happened to him since I arrived is something that cannot be tolerated. I understand the whistles… but yours is not normal. They do it because he is a danger and they are trying to distract him.”also defended Carlo Ancelotti, in support of his number 7.
