The Brazilian legend, Rivaldo, took a stand after the controversy of the last Clásico, where VinĂcius Junior strongly expressed his dissatisfaction when he left in the 72nd. The former 1999 Ballon d’Or believes that, if the attitude of the Madrid winger was not correct, it remains understandable given the situation. “Replacing him seven times in a row is too much. A player like VinĂcius, who is worth so much to Real Madrid, should not come out in such an important match. Vini’s reaction was not correct, because he made inappropriate comments, which is of course regrettable. But we can understand his anger: he played well, he was the protagonist, he participated in the second goal and he kept the ball forward well”explained Rivaldo according to Marca.
The 2002 World Champion also recalled the status of the Auriverde player, crowned best player in the world by FIFA this year, since he won the last “The Best FIFA”. “Whether we like him or not, VinĂcius remains the best in the world today”insisted Rivaldo.
