In recent years, Vinicius’s escapades on the pitch have attracted a lot of attention, and their reaction to his substitution during the Clasico recently brought the subject back to the forefront. Carlo Ancelotti recently offered advice to the 24-year-old, and Kroos followed suit by sharing his experience working alongside the Brazilian winger, as reported by MD.
“I often told him to stop, because I felt like the whole team was affected by his behavior. It is understandable that this can be difficult for opponents, referees, and even rival fans. As a team, we felt like things were turning against us because of that. I tried many times to calm him down on the field, to help him stay focused, because he sometimes lost control. I kept telling him: “Vinicius, you are so good. You don’t need all that. » »
Vinicius and Xabi Alonso are in conflict.
Should Vinicius change his behavior?
Curiously, Vinicius has shown signs of calming down on the pitch in recent weeks after the incident with Xabi Alonso during the Clasico. He notably remained impassive in the face of insults from supporters during the goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano before the international break. Real Madrid will be hoping their number seven continues this momentum, as it could help them get back to their best – at least if Kroos’ words are to be believed.
There is no doubt that the last 12 to 18 months have been rather frustrating for Vinicius, and the first few months of the current season have been no exception. However, he hopes to regain his form in the coming weeks.
