The shadow of the ‘Vinicius case’

pablo Parra put on the table the media noise that surrounds the Brazilian.In his opinion, it is surprising that a team with five victories in five games and a Mbappé in full form has to face holders about an alleged crisis. “I am amazed that Real Madrid’s post is analyzing if there is a case of vinicius”he said, comparing the situation with other clubs where the focus would be in the praise.

Adrián Benedict, on the other hand, stopped in the feeling of the fans. He explained that since the beginning of the game the great unknown was why Vinicius was not in eleven. “In the 70th minute, with the draw, the question was why it had not come out before”he stressed. To Azpitarte, beyond rotations, the Brazilian “It is not understanding what Xabi Alonso demands from the bench.”

Mbappé, the great reference

The name of Kylian Mbappé appeared as a counterweight in the conversation. Azpitarte stressed that the difference lies in the attitude.“Mbappé is not only marking in each game, he is also leading the defensive attitude of the team,” He pointed out, highlighting how the Frenchman has assumed the role of undisputed leader in this seasonal start.
