With a magnificent goal from a free kick from Raphinha and another from Telasco Segovia, Brazil drew against Venezuela in a South American qualifying match. However, after the match, Mexican singer Peso Pluma took the opportunity to criticize Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr’s performance.
After the match, the corridos singer responded to a post on ‘X’ where the Brazilian claimed that the world was not ready to see his best version, this after finishing second in the Ballon d’Or vote, behind the ‘Spanish Rodri.
“I will work ten times harder if necessary. They are not prepared,” Vinicius tweeted, while Peso Pluma simply highlighted the two-time Champions League winner’s words with a direct comment.
This comment can be understood in light of the player’s performance against Vinotinto, when the current Brazilian number 7 only completed 71% of the passes he attempted, lost 21 balls and, to top it all off, missed a penalty he had won himself, capping another disappointing night with the Seleção after his performance at the last Copa América, where he only scored a few goals but was criticized for not not having taken on a leadership role in the most successful Football team in the World Cup.
