Vinicius Jr. Shines for Real Madrid Despite Controversial Actions

Vinicius Jr. is back. After the injury that kept him off the playing field for almost a month, from August to September, the Brazilian recovered to his best level in Braga. He was, once again, the main spearhead for Real Madrid, and he played that role in a match in which he was loudly asked to be the protagonist of the Whites’ own attack. He was in the two goals and in all the attacking plays of Ancelotti’s team. The only thing missing was the icing on the cake: the right definition.

He continues with his style, which has made him become the player he is. Skillful, vertical, cheeky, cheerful… Typical of his football origins in the streets of Brazil.

Since joining Madrid’s first team (2019-20), he has attempted a total of 1,215 dribbles in all the competitions he has played, having emerged victorious in 496. This is the highest figure among all the players in the big five. suspenders. On the other hand, he has received a total of 428 fouls, and only players like Grealish and Zaccagni have been subject to more infractions in the five major leagues.

This Tuesday in Braga he attempted eight dribbles, of which he was victorious in four, in a match in which the spotlight returned to him for one play. Heeled to the wing, he made a total of ten bicycles, standing still, in front of the defender who was in charge of marking him throughout the match, Serdar Saatçı. Zalazar, a midfielder for the Portuguese team, approached to cover his teammate so that the ball ended up going out of bounds.

After this action, the Municipal de Braga started a general whistle towards the Real Madrid player, and Zalazar himself came to reproach him for the previous action. “We are playing football,” said the Uruguayan in some images captured by Movistar+ of Vinicius, who came out laughing at the marking. He takes it that way, because it is part of his way of being and his game, but his action was a source of controversy and the Portuguese public and team did not like him at all given how little use he had. But it is Vinicius’ style, almost unique in the world. Hence, these types of situations do not justify the fact that he receives abusive kicks or really aggressive actions on the field, nor is he rebuked off the field, as happened this Tuesday.

Mikel Camps, spokesperson for FC Barcelona, ​​posted a tweet while watching the game, which he later deleted: “It’s not racism, he deserves a slap for being a clown and a lazy person, which is what these unnecessary and meaningless bicycles in the center of the stadium represent.” field”. A racist outburst that Rodrygo, Vinicius’ brother in the locker room, described as “regrettable.”
