Last week, Vinicius Jr (24 years old) had difficult days. After the defeat in the Clasico against FC Barcelona, he learned the next day that he would not win the Ballon d’Or, even though he was the big favorite. Touched, but not sunk, the Brazilian must now digest this news. And nothing better than a Champions League match to get off to a good start. This evening, the Auriverde international will face AC Milan, who remains on a hat-trick against Borussia Dortmund. To clear his mind before his matches, Vini Jr spends a lot of time with his loved ones, defying a ban in the process.
Indeed, Relevo explains that he plays paddle very often. Problem, Real Madrid strictly prohibits its players from practicing this sport for fear of injury. Vinicius Jr, whose recent photos with racket in hand were not appreciated, is not the only one to defy this ban since Dani Ceballos or Dani Carvajal have already been seen on the courts. Luka Modric and Rodrygo, too, are stung by this discipline. They have also invested in Madrid clubs. Relevo adds that Madrid players have pitches at home or go to play at friends’ houses to avoid being caught by the club, which is unhappy with this new practice. Like them, members of the staff also play regularly, specifies the Iberian media.
