The year 2025 begins with a new controversy for Vinicius Jr. Last weekend, the Brazilian was sent off against Valencia following his altercation with the opposing goalkeeper, Stole Dimitrievski. Yesterday the Auriverde player and Real Madrid, who were hoping for some leniency from the Competition Committee of the Spanish Federation, were fixed. Indeed, Vini Jr received a two-match suspension. He is doing rather well according to the Madrid media since his reaction was not described as an attack on the part of the refereeing body. A decision which was considered scandalous on the other side of the Pyrenees. SuperDeportewho follows news from the club, reacted after this announcement.
“Vinicius will play the Super Cup: two match sanctions for the expulsion of Mestalla thanks to the drafting of the referee’s report”titled SD before being more critical in another article by journalist Sergio Arlendis. “It seems indefensible to me, now that we have to talk about the pathetic image that the footballer Vinicius Jr has left once again at Mestalla while Valencia has so many faults and so much misery to tell. I surely do it with the same feeling of perplexity that the Madrid wave, led by coach Ancelotti, provokes in me, fiercely defending the second best player in the world, behind the Spaniard Rodri. Terrible how a certain Merengue fanaticism defends the indefensible and how the image of a footballer who spent the entire match mocking (I saw and heard it with my own eyes and ears) the Valencian supporters is washed away.
Vinicius Jr is expensive
He continues: “then the coach speaks and says that being Vinicius Jr is not easy. Very simple, without a doubt: play good football, be quick and technical, argue, play the martyr, protest to the referee even about the color of a card if necessary, tell everyone that he is worse than him (…) who lies more than he speaks, both when he lets himself fall, at any moment, while playing or when he says that he has not touched anyone or when he insults thousands and thousands of people, which has never been said, or at least also he said it was. He lies and that is where the big difference lies between the best in the world, Rodri, and this player who is about to be and who, if he is not, kicks , moans, questions and ironically against those who voted for someone else.”
In Catalonia, this decision was also criticized. “Vinicius scandal!title Mundo Deportivo. For his part, Sport writing : “ridiculous sanction for Vinicius following his attack on Dimitrievski.” In the Spanish capital, Marca And A.S. instead defend the decision and cite the fact that racist insults were not included in the referee’s report. Asked about the subject, Sergi Canós, Valencia player, declared: “if there were racist chants, I didn’t hear them, no one on my team heard them. If there were, it is regrettable. But if there wasn’t and they say there was, that’s also unfortunate. So be it. First see if it is true or not and from there we will comment.” Vini didn’t just make friends…
