Real Madrid began to tire of Vinicius’ position. And the white club did not hesitate to protect the Brazilian in all the problems of the derby against Atletico Madrid, although at the same time the footballer was asked to try to focus on playing football and forget about everything else. Vinicius is building a bad reputation among the fans and opposing players, which could end up being the case, especially because on many occasions the Brazilian ends up disappearing from matches, being more aware of provocations from the ball
The latest example was tested last Monday in Vallecas, where Vinicius did his work again. He exaggerated mistakes and confronted rival players, and also made gestures to Rayo fans after the 1-2 photo of Militao, which quickly went viral on social networks
The most disturbing moment occurred before the start of the match, as he was on the scoreboard 1-0. Real Madrid did not start the match well, seeing themselves beaten hard by Rayo Vallecano. Vinicius didn’t take it well and made a mistake that cost him the yellow card. Far from getting upset, the Brazilian went on to warn, making gestures and raising his voice in front of the referee, to the point that Carlo Ancelotti feared a possible expulsion
Fortunately for the interests of Real Madrid, the referee not only sent off Vinicius, but also approached Ancelotti to ask him to calm his player, who was playing with the match that had just begun to send him off. In the meantime, Vinicius followed his own style, which caused the Italian coach to get angry at him, realizing that the conversations they had both had in recent weeks had been of little use
From that moment, as Ancelotti feared, Vinicius disappeared from the game, and he was more interested in imposing non-existent fouls and protesting than in playing football. Without Benzema and the Brazilian out of the match, Real Madrid was not able to withstand the hardworking and motivated Rayo Vallecano, who managed to turn the score again, to make the score 3-2 and resist the recent attacks of Real Madrid
In the long run, Vinicius’ attitude was key for Ancelotti’s team to finish the day with a loss to the top in the rankings. So far, Vinicius has been allowed some leeway, mostly because the results and his performance have fizzled with it. At the club, of course, it is clear that the Brazilian has to mature, because he cannot continue like this. Opponents and referees already know him, so it will be increasingly difficult to end non-existent fouls as he intends
