The bad news has been coming for a month for Vinicius. At the end of October, the Brazilian first saw the Ballon d’Or which he seemed promised be awarded to Rodri. A result that is difficult to understand for the Merengue striker and all of Real Madrid, who did not hesitate to boycott the ceremony and rush to denounce this result.
And on Monday, the day after his thigh injury against Leganes, which should keep him away from the field for at least four weeks, Vinicius had to give up another trophy, that of best player in La Liga awarded by his peers . The Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE) preferred his teammate Jude Bellingham, author of a dazzling first season at Real Madrid.
Vinicius victim of his attitude?
With 19 goals and 5 assists in 28 league matches, the England international was one of the main architects of the league title won by the Merengue club. “Thank you very much for electing me as an AFE player last season, I am very proud”reacted the former Borussia Dortmund player in a video as Real prepares a crucial trip to Liverpool in the Champions League.
If the pill will undoubtedly be easier to swallow for Vinicius since it is a teammate who was rewarded, the Seleçao striker, author of 15 goals and 6 assists in 26 La Liga matches last season, is definitely struggling to convince. But for many, his attitude towards his opponents has a lot to do with this new failure.
