At the end of a spectacular “Clasico” set this Sunday, the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid exploded under the blows of FC Barcelona (2-5). On the Merengue side, if Kylian Mbappé was able to live up to the challenge, as Carlo Ancelotti recognized at the end of the game, Vinicius Junior was less lively and was replaced in the 76th minute of play. A decision that the Brazilian would not have liked at all.
According to information reported Tuesday by A.S.the Auriverde international and his entourage would have experienced this premature exit as a real snub. The Spanish media even spoke of ” tension “ instilled between the player and the Madrid club with this choice by Carlo Ancelotti to finally replace him quite early. Because if an exit of Vinicius Junior in a match is not an unprecedented thing, it usually tends to occur from the last five minutes of regulation time.
Still in the eye of Saudi Arabia
And so, A.S. felt that this substitution showed the Brazilian that he was not “not untouchable in complicated times”. In the process, the media recalled that Vinicius was still Saudi Arabia’s priority target. A way to revive the rumor of a possible shock transfer if things were to get worse for good between the two parties.
Such a scenario seems completely far-fetched to date, since by the admission of A.S. in his conclusion, there is no break between the Brazilian and Real, “far from it”. On the other hand, Carlo Ancelotti will have to quickly find a formula so that his team can bounce back, particularly in the Champions League where qualification for the eighth is still far from assured. And the “Mister” would definitely need Vinicius Junior to get it.
