The tension was palpable during the 3-3 draw between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano on Saturday in La Liga. Vinicius Jr, who came on in the second half, was again noted for his provocative behavior towards opposing supporters. As he left the pitch, the Brazilian winger mimed a gesture suggesting relegation to the second division for Rayo Vallecano. An attitude denounced by Raúl Martín Presa, the president of the Vallecas club.
“ These attitudes are not appropriate “, he lamented at the microphone of Cadena Cope, adding that Vinicius must show more professionalism. The manager warned of potential sanctions against his club’s supporters, while calling on players to show more restraint to avoid escalating the situation.
Controversy around behavior and refereeing
In addition to his provocations, Vinicius strongly protested against the refereeing, demanding a yellow card for an opponent before receiving a warning himself in the 74th minute. Some observers, like Eduardo Iturralde González on Cadena SER, believe that the Madrid player should even have been sent off for his behavior. This new controversy revives criticism of the player, regularly accused of exaggerating his reactions and needlessly provoking crowds.
On social networks, Vinicius’ provocative gestures arouse a wave of indignation, including among certain Madrid supporters, exasperated by the recurring controversies surrounding their attacker.
