Vinicius Jr is no longer totally popular in Madrid. Since the beginning of the season, many more or less important pro-Madrid journalists and columnists have criticized the player’s behavior. This was again the case against Real Sociedad the weekend of two weeks ago, when the Brazilian made the gesture of shush towards the Basque public. An attitude that did not please the Merengues.

“With everything that’s been happening around him since last year, he should calm down. All the Madrid players were happy with his goal, then very disappointed with his celebration. That works against him, enormously. I speak with Madridistas, and all or almost all of them are bothered by his behavior.”had launched Pedrag Mijatovic, former player and manager of the Casa Blanca. Internally, it is also said that he has lost many supporters, mainly among the managers, and that Carlo Ancelotti is one of his last defenders within the club.

The people of Madrid have no doubts

A difficult situation to manage for the Brazilian, of course, even if he also received some praise after his great start against Espanyol this weekend (1 goal, 1 assist). But with this Ballon d’Or 2024 in mind, he still retains the favor of the Madrid media, well ahead of Jude Bellingham, another credible candidate, and Kylian Mbappé, a little behind his two new teammates in this race. Brand is dedicating its front page to him this Tuesday, and has no doubt about his status as the big favourite for the ceremony which will take place in a month in Paris.

“Paris and the Seine await the Brazilian for his coronation”indicates the media, which has clearly made its choice between the star of Canarinha and her two partners. Brand even adds that Nike will inaugurate its new store on the Gran Via in Madrid two days after the ceremony, with a decoration in homage to Vinicius Jr. News that will please the person concerned in these difficult times to manage for him…
