The 6-1 defeat to Monaco healed the wound of last Saturday. Real Madrid fans are back with their team, and the team is showing some signs of improvement. Goals always help with heavy digestion, like the one the team had against Levante. … All the stars scored, including Bellingham and Vini. The Englishman, with a special celebration due to the rumors circulating on social networks that accuse him of going out and drinking too much in the capital of Spain: «My celebration? Many people say many things. You can cry or enjoy it. I returned the joke to the fans. I know the truth.
This information, without any proof, has given rise to Jude’s nickname ‘Ballantines’, but the Briton chooses to take it as a joke, just what he does not do with the anger of the fans: “I have always said that fans work all week, pay to come here and have the right to do what they want,” said Jude, who also winked at Vinicius: “I never doubt him. “He is a player who shines when he receives love and today it was demonstrated.”
The Brazilian was named ‘Man of the Match’ and, although he did not want to celebrate his goal with the fans, but rather with his teammates and Arbeloa, he wanted to build a bridge with Real Madrid fans: «The last few days were very complicated. For everyone and for me. For the whistles and for those who talk about me. I don’t want to be in the spotlight for what I do off the field, but for what I do on it. Playing at home must be to have the support of the fans and we must return to normality.
Vini confesses that he has had a bad time, but he also understands people: “I get very sad because I don’t want to be booed at home. And in the last games I didn’t feel comfortable because whenever I played badly they booed me. But they have their right. They pay a very expensive entrance fee for this. “I don’t understand it, but I’m here to improve and fight for the team that has given me everything.”
The one who didn’t give everything was to Alonso. Vinicius dodged the question of his complicated relationship with Xabi, with great weight in his dismissal: “There is nothing to do, I can’t do anything. The press says what it wants and the fans understand it that way. “The only thing I can do on the field is go in and give it my all.” Give it all for one more year and a half, at least, which is what remains of his contract. Vini does not attach importance to not having renewed yet and suggests that there will be no problems: «There is a lot of talk about this issue, but I have one more year left. We are very calm about it. I trust the president, he trusts me, we have a very good relationship and, in due course, we will work things out. “We are in no hurry.”
Solutions that, in the short term, Arbeloa has found, who entered and left the Bernabéu press room with a smile from ear to ear: «More than hugging me, Vini has embraced Real Madrid fans, it is a hug to the fans. We are all very happy for this reunion and this twinning, which is what we want. Vini needs the Bernabéu, I have already said it several times. And today I have seen the public devoted to it. “We need them.”
The Salamanca coach also spoke about the Bellingham celebration, leaving it in a funny anecdote: «I have no idea what it means. They add a lot of magic to the celebrations. “For me, as long as they score goals, they can celebrate however they want.”
