In the current context of Spanish soccer, the recent events at Mestalla and the controversies involving Vinícius Jr. have caused a torrent of opinions.
The expulsion of the Brazilian forward has sparked debate about the sanction he might receive. It all happaned in the match against Valencia, where he assaulted goalkeeper Dimitrievski after a slight taunt. Meanwhile, young Lamine Yamal has excelled in the Super Cup, taking the title with FC Barcelona and showing his enormous talent.
Vinícius Jr.'s Expulsion at Mestalla
The incident that occurred in the league match between Real Madrid and Valencia left everyone surprised. In a match postponed due to the DANA storm, Vinícius was sent off with a direct red card after a confrontation with the rival goalkeeper, Dimitrievski.
According to several media outlets, Vinícius's reaction was excessive in reply to the goalkeeper's provocation. Although the taunt wasn't that serious, the Brazilian's reply was an assault that cost him being expelled.
The Expected Sanction
Although the exact sanction hasn't been officially announced, everything indicates that Vinícius will face a penalty of at least two matches of suspension. This punishment is considered the most likely within the RFEF regulations. However, the situation has caused divided opinions.
Some believe that the expulsion was an overreaction and that the punishment should be severe. On the other hand, there are voices that consider the sanction should be lighter due to the circumstances.
Reactions from the Soccer Environment
The debate about Vinícius's sanction has reached the media. One of the most notable comments came from Juanma Castaño, director of El Partidazo on Cadena COPE. Although Castaño doesn't justify Vinícius's attitude, he expressed his disagreement with the possible two-match sanction.
The journalist described the sanction as "a disgrace," arguing that the action doesn't justify such a harsh suspension. Castaño pointed out that, although the Brazilian has shown a recurring attitude of indiscipline, this time the punishment should be more moderate.
The Controversy of Recurrence
Vinícius's recurrence in controversial situations is a topic that doesn't go unnoticed. Throughout his career, he has been involved in several controversial episodes, raising doubts about his behavior.
However, not everyone agrees that this attitude always deserves severe punishments. For some, the Brazilian is an impulsive player, but his talent and determination should be valued. For others, the player's repetitive attitude should lead to stricter consequences.
Lamine Yamal: the Great Promise
While Vinícius faces his situation, another young player shines brightly in the Super Cup. Lamine Yamal, at just 17 years old, has proven to be one of the great promises of Spanish soccer. The player, currently injured, can return in the Super Cup and promises to be key.
