After this defeat, the criticisms were numerous, and a particular player was largely blamed: Vinicius Junior. Although he scored Real Madrid's only goal in Santiago Bernabéu, Vinicius missed a crucial penalty while the score was 0-0 in the first period. Following this, some of his own supporters turned against him.
As Marca reports, whistles targeting Vinicius were heard during the match against Valence. He was targeted from his first loss of ball, the strongest reaction having occurred when Giorgi Mamardashvili pushed his 12 meter shot. Although the situation is not serious, it has sparked whispers.
Vinicius junior on departure?
This is not the first time that Vinicius has aroused negative reactions from Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti, Jude Bellingham and Luka Modric have all expressed their frustration towards the Brazilian superstar several times during the season, but it seems that it is the first time that the supporters attack the 24 -year -old.
In recent months have been difficult for Vinicius, its form having dropped, especially in Liga. The pressure rises and reaches its climax while Real Madrid is preparing to enter the most crucial period of the season, which will start with the quarter -final first leg of the Champions League against Arsenal.
Vinicius will be keen to stand out against the Premier League team, and its best performances are often reserved for Champions League evenings. Real Madrid hopes that this will be the case on Tuesday, and also during the return match at the Santiago Bernabéu eight days later.
