Before his emotions were provoked and he appeared to be approaching Lamine Yamal at the end of the match, the Brazilian player first expressed his anger when he was replaced by Xabi Alonso.
The coach decided to replace Vinicius with Rodrygo in the 72nd minute. Vinicius was disappointed. The player’s sour expression was clearly visible on the field.
Reporting from Ace Diarythe 25 year old player cursed Xabi. The coach then responded harshly to Vinicius’ words.
After the match, Xabi tried to neutralize the situation and explain what happened between him and Vinicius.
“Vini’s character? All coaches know there are different personalities. Now we will enjoy [kemenangan]and then we will talk in the dressing room, of course,” said Xabi as quoted by Sports Illustrated.
When asked further questions about his relationship with Vinicius, Xabi emphasized that there was no problem.
This is not the only time Vinicius and Xabi have appeared less than harmonious. On several previous occasions, the player who has strengthened Los Blancos since 2018 has shown his dislike for the coach who has only managed El Real this season.
This was triggered because Xabi often put him on the bench or replaced him in the middle of the match.
