This manifested itself with force regarding Fede Valverde, this week's Telenovela poster. The Uruguayan seemed little involved in the warm-up during the 5-0 victory against Kairat Almaty, and ended up declaring that he is not 100 % engaged in the cause.
However, Vinicius Junior also seemed less satisfied when he left 20 minutes from the end against Karat. The Brazilian was seen gesticulating and complaining by leaving the field, apparently towards the coach Xabi Alonso. This is of course in the context where the Basque coach left Vinicius on the bench much more often than usual.
The reasons for the frustration of Vinicius revealed
The reason for his frustration was however the decisions of his teammates, according to Diario As. It is said that the Brazilian had the impression of being too often ignored, even in favorable situations. Arda Guller decided to look for a background for Kylian Mbappé at the start of the second period, rather than using Vinicius on the side.
Just before his replacement, Franco Mastanuono preferred to shoot rather than serve Vinicius, which has even more irritated her. This is what ultimately caused his irritation.
Xabi Alonso's strong reaction
After the match, Alonso did his best to dispel any controversy from the start.
“It was not anger. Again… but not today. It's always the coach's fault. Vini was not a complaint. There was a remark that we understood. »»
If the reaction of Vinicius, which was no longer the pivot of the attack, was examined closely, it seems that in this specific case, it was simply a natural frustration, inherent in the game.
