This Tuesday evening, on the occasion of Liverpool-Real Madrid, on the set of CBS SportsThierry Henry returned to the attitude of Vinicius Júnior during the last Clásico against FC Barcelona. The former French team striker said: “I’ve been there. I did it. I lost my temper in front of the referees. I lost my temper in front of my teammates. I lost my temper with myself. Sometimes for nothing, because, in reality, I played better when I was angry”. He also stressed the importance of Vinicius’ apology: “does this make a good impression?” No, that doesn’t make a good impression. You don’t talk to your coach like that. But he had the courage to apologize. And he did it. Everyone loses their temper sometimes. And that’s not the right thing to do, we all know that. But it’s human. We all make mistakes. Let’s move on. I don’t think it will be a problem for the season.”.
The former Barça and Gunners star then insisted on the human side of the Brazilian: “we all saw it. We’ve all done it. So, I’m not going to sit there and say, “You should never do that, it’s disrespectful.” Yes, we all know that. But hey, he’s a human being. And I always say that people are looking for adrenaline, but when you get too emotional, you cross the line. So it’s not something you want to see, but it happens sometimes. Maybe not that way, but I’ve lost my temper sometimes.”. The interested party will appreciate it.
