Josep Pedrerol Explodes against Madrid, Points out Vinícius Júnior: 'Mbappé...'

The presenter of 'El Chiringuito' believes that Vini is not being enough of a leader and asks Mbappé to step forward.

Josep Pedrerol is bitterly angry about Real Madrid's defeat in El Clásico, but especially about what happened afterwards. Not a single Real Madrid player appeared in the mixed zone, nor did any of them even post a message on social media. The presenter of El Chiringuito lashed out at them, including a dig at Vinícius Júnior.

In the middle of the El Chiringuito program, Josep Pedrerol said: "No Real Madrid player has come forward. It's such a disgrace... Isn't it time for someone to come forward tonight, isn't it a disgrace?"

"The Real Madrid player felt ashamed today watching his team, but he must feel even more ashamed seeing that they don't care and don't show their face when they have to. At PSG there was a leader and Mbappé doesn't dare to be one," continued Pedrerol.

The journalist then added, in clear reference to Vinícius : "Well, Mbappé, since there's no one else and no one stands up, it is up to you to step up and be the leader. Because there are many leaders, but when push comes to shove..."

Josep Pedrerol attacked Vinícius Júnior

In the middle of the Clásico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, Pedrerol didn't mince his words. Covering the match live for El Chiringuito, the journalist lashed out at Vinícius Júnior.

"He's filming the documentary, there was one thing missing. For the documentary on Vinícius, nothing of today's performance is worth anything," said Pedrerol during the Clásico, making it clear that the Brazilian wasn't having a good game for Madrid.

Real Madrid angry over El Clasico

Florentino Pérez didn't understand the poor performance that Mbappé and Bellingham have been offering since the start of the season. They are two of the five best players in the world. And they are not performing as expected of them.

And all eyes were on the bench. Also on Florentino Pérez, who has a huge affection for Ancelotti, but is now disappointing him. Far from being a better team than last year, Real Madrid has gone downhill.

It's clear that Madrid are missing out on Kroos... but it's unacceptable, the president believes, that Mbappé and Bellingham seem like average footballers compared to Flick's teenagers.

Last night he went down to the dressing room after the match and showed his tremendous disappointment to the players. "We were not good," he told them, according to Defensa Central.

While on one side they are aiming for Ancelotti, on the other they are going for Mbappé... and Josep Pedrerol has taken it out on the next Ballon d'Or winner, Vinícius Júnior.
