For several months, Franco Mastantuono (18 years old) has set down his bags in Madrid. The Argentinian is making his mark within a team full of stars. One of them, Vinicius Junior, is talked about a lot. In fact, the Brazilian doesn’t really get along with Xabi Alonso, who doesn’t do him any favors. During the last Clasico, Vini Jr spun when he was replaced. Very angry, he finally apologized to his teammates, the president and the club a few days later. Mastantuono returned to this episode during an interview with the Cadena SER.
“His departure was obviously not the right choice (…) Vinícius apologized to Xabi Alonso and all the others. The most important thing is that everyone stays united (…) Vinicius is an incredible person. He is often criticized, but he always brings joy to the locker room. Of course he gets angry, like we all do. Obviously the way he left was not correct. He recognized it and knows he is important to the team. He is one of the captains. These are things that happen in football. The incident is closed.
