The love story between Vinicius Jr and Maffeo, the Mallorca defender, is not about to end. The two men, who are used to looking for each other in each of their confrontations, largely did it again on Thursday evening in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup. And as nothing escapes the Spanish cameras, they filmed several sequences which the journalists were happy to dissect in the process.
We see Vinicius quite obsessed with his opponent, spending his match throwing barbs at him, notably repeating “go home” after Jude Bellingham opened the score. But his provocations also come through his way of playing on the pitch, where the Brazilian never stops putting the ball at Maffeo’s feet, like during this sequence where he laughs after making a blind pass (not necessarily super effective) to the noses and under the beard of the Mallorcan defender.

Sensing his player on the tightrope and on the verge of completely leaving his match, Ancelotti then intervenes to ask him to calm things down. To which Vini, the innocent with deep pockets, replies: “What? But what did I do? I didn’t do anything! “. “Stay active, keep it up, stay active. Touch the ball and move,” Carletto then engages, in vain.
“Majorca is not the villain of the film”
Indeed, while Maffeo seems to want to go back down a little in the towers by putting a friendly hand on his shoulder, Vinicius, who we know is capable of being a real bad kid on the pitch (even when he is not not insult or attack his origins), refuses to bury the hatchet and puts on a final layer: “You’re worthless, go home,” he says, looking Maffeo straight in the eyes. Upon arrival, the Brazilian’s behavior contributed to spoiling the atmosphere of the match, which ended with the start of a general scuffle at the end of the match.
Annoyed, the Mallorcans denounced the “provocations” of Madrid players in the mixed zone. “We saw the provocations. We have the impression that Mallorca is the bad guy when that is not the case, protested Omar Mascarell after the meeting. They are the ones who provoke and we are made to believe that we are the only ones responsible. If the media watches today’s footage, they will see that Marjoque is not the villain of the film. »
