Vinícius Jr. Complains About One of His Real Madrid Teammates
Vinícius Jr. had a frustrating return to LaLiga after his suspension in January. Although the Brazilian was active in attack, his goal was disallowed due to a prior foul by Kylian Mbappé, sparking outrage among the Real Madrid squad. However, beyond the referee’s decisions, the forward seemed even more frustrated with some of his own teammates.
One of the most tense moments came when Vinícius complained to Carlo Ancelotti about not receiving passes from the left side. TV footage captured him expressing his frustration over Dani Ceballos' reluctance to pass him the ball, something the coach tried to address immediately. The Brazilian’s frustration didn’t stop there—he also showed signs of discontent even after finally receiving the pass.
Lucas Vázquez tried to calm Vinícius
Vinícius wasn’t just frustrated with Ceballos but also with Fran García, leading to another tense moment on the field. That’s when Lucas Vázquez stepped in, attempting to calm the Brazilian down and urging him to stay focused.
After the match, Ancelotti supported the club’s complaints about the refereeing and called for changes in Spanish football. For the coach, the lack of explanations for controversial decisions, such as Vinícius' disallowed goal, shows that improvements are needed in LaLiga's officiating.
