More than the result of the meeting or the content that was proposed by the two teams at the Bernabéu on Wednesday evening, Vinicius Jr’s gesture, considered by many as an attack, is causing a lot of talk. Many are crying foul across Europe, believing that the Brazilian winger, who opened the scoring, should have been sent off by the referee of the match. A gesture that even many Madrilenians find difficult to defend. Indeed, this Thursday morning, many of them criticized the attitude of their player.
Predrag Mijatović, former player and manager of the Spanish capital club and now consultant for the Cadena SERfor example, made very harsh remarks against the Brazilian player. “The Real Madrid jersey cannot tolerate this type of behavior. Maybe that of another team yes. I advise Vinicius to find a way to calm down or he will never be a great player. Everyone tells him he needs to change his behavior. He yells at opponents and his teammates. They have to calm him down like he’s a kid. It must change radically”launched the one who offered the 1998 Champions League to the Merengues.
Vinicius Junior must change
On the Cadena SER also, the famous presenter Manu Carreño made very harsh remarks. “Someone needs to explain to Vinicius that at Real Madrid, values come before goals. Someone needs to tell him that respect for the opponent comes before talent. He needs to correct his way of being completely unpredictable. Not only for the opponents, but also for his own team. When you wear the Real Madrid jersey, there are certain things you can’t do. It would be good if someone made him understand that not everything is allowed in football”launched the star radio journalist.
In the newspapers, many journalists attack the Canarinha player. “Someone at the club needs to put Vinicius in his place”headlines journalist Enrique Ortego in Relevobefore adding: “I know that in the locker room and in the offices, they want to get him out of this confusion. But either they can’t do it, or the player is beyond redemption. (…) The arrival of Mbappé should change his mind, but it seems that it risks offending him even more”. Same story for Tomas Roncero, a pro-Madrid journalist well known in Spain who took up the Brazilian in the columns of A.S. : “Vinicius was capable of the best and the worst. He risked red with a burst of absurd rage against Orban. He played with fire”. The Brazilian has been warned, he will have to change his behavior quickly or he risks alienating his supporters…
