"Vinícius is so good, so good... But with a scoreless draw, he's laughing on the bench."
"Vinícius is so good... But with a scoreless draw, he's yawning on the bench."
"Vinícius is so good... But after Mbappé's goal, he's going to the referee and the stands. Mbappé, silencing him."
"Vinícius is so good... but when he scored, he sent Real Oviedo down to the Second Division."
"Vinícius is so good... but he really wears me out."
Josep Pedrerol is tired of the trouble Vinícius gets into
Josep Pedrerol, during last night's presentation of El Chiringuito, dared to say what many Madridists think about Vinícius.
"He's so good!" No one questions that. But he also really wears people out. The match was calm in Oviedo until he showed up ready to pick a fight with the world.
One goal and one assist, but he was more focused on settling scores with the crowd at Carlos Tartiere. Needing "leader" Mbappé to come to his rescue and silence him.
He's been warned by Xabi Alonso. He knows this lack of focus and these outbursts don't please the new coach. He's been warned about the bench.
But Vinícius keeps sticking to his script. Laughing and yawning on the bench, fighting with the crowd on the field.
He tried to fake a penalty and the referee replied with a yellow card. The Oviedo crowd called him "fool."
Vinícius sent Oviedo down to the Second Division
His response came quickly, sending the home team down to the Second Division.
This sideshow that has nothing to do with soccer is something Xabi Alonso really dislikes. The Basque coach only expects Vinícius to give his best. Nothing more, nothing less.
So far, he hasn't managed to do that. Yesterday, he already left him on the bench and will do it again if he keeps seeing him distracted. Although after his goal and assist at Carlos Tartiere, he has every chance to regain his starting spot in the next match,
