Sent off yesterday in Valencia, Vinicius Jr could miss important meetings for his club Real Madrid.
Excluded for having responded with an ugly gesture to a provocation from the opposing goalkeeper, Vinicius apologized at the end of the meeting between Valencia and Real Madrid, won by the Merangue (2-1). Carlo Ancelotti came to his defense and said the Brazilian only deserved a yellow card. The Madrid club hopes to have his red card overturned, and the stakes are high because Vinicius risks a lot.
Deprived of Super Cup?
As Relevo indicates, the player risks between two and four matches of suspension, depending on the referee's report and La Liga's interpretation. The suspension will only be two matches if his action is considered “violent conduct”, and four if it is judged as “aggression”. If he were to receive a four-match suspension, Vinicius would have to be deprived of an important meeting for Real: the Spanish Super Cup, which will take place in Saudi Arabia. He would be suspended for the semi-final against Mallorca, and could also be suspended for the possible final.
