Vinicius annoys internally

Saturday afternoon, Real Madrid won on the Osasuna pitch (2-4, 29th day of La Liga). During this meeting, the Madrilenians were once again able to count on the talent of Vinicius Junior, author of a double. Particularly comfortable with the ball, the Brazilian nevertheless found a way to receive a yellow card, following inappropriate behavior towards the match referee. Enough to make his trainer react.

The Madrid striker therefore received a yellow card at the end of the first period, after openly mocking a decision taken by Mr. Munuera. The Madrilenian applauded the man with the whistle sarcastically and was administratively sanctioned. Fifth yellow card this season in the league for Vinicius, and even the fourth in a row in his team’s last four outings, in all competitions. Enough to receive an automatic suspension for the March 31 match against Athletic Bilbao.

“He must manage the pressure better”

In the post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti was invited to comment on his player’s performance, and he did not fail to make a comment on his behavior, while taking care to congratulate him first. “ He scored two goals today and he could have scored more. He has always been effective in the game. But he must manage the ambient pressure better, that’s a fact. » The transalpine tactician knows that the absence of Vinicius against Bilbao is not good news for Real, especially since the Basque club is running at full speed and occupies a good fourth place after twenty-nine days.

While Jude Bellingham remains at the top of the scorers’ rankings in Spain and Real (sixteen goals), Vinicius Junior continues to make up his ground, he is now twelve points this season in La Liga. He will therefore not have the opportunity to improve this total when he returns from the international break due to his suspension. Carlo Ancelotti hopes his player will learn from the situation.
