Criticized for his behavior on the field, Vinicius Jr gave his detractors food for thought during Brazil's draw in Venezuela (1-1).
Another evening to forget for Vinicius Jr with Brazil. While the Seleçao was held in check in Venezuela (1-1), the Real Madrid striker still remained silent. Worse, he missed a penalty in the second half (62nd), when he could have given his team the advantage again.
From there, we mainly saw the “bad” Vinicius, the one whose behavior is often criticized. And the one whose attitude would have made him lose points in the race for the Ballon d'Or this year. The Madrilenian caused the red card of Alexander Gonzalez, who reacted badly when “Vini” came to get the ball at his feet after a foul. And in added time, Vinicius was filmed telling the fourth official to go “to be put”,
to remain somewhat polite.
Vinicius is not the same with Brazil
Obviously, Vinicius is still targeted by his detractors after this match. But he is also criticized in Brazil. “Vini showed inspiration early in the match, but lost control after missing a penalty in the second half,
watch ainsi UOL Esporte. Vini was anxious, missed dribbles, complained and fell in front of his opponents. (…) The striker does not have the same confidence in Brazil as in Real Madrid and this concern weighs heavily…” We remind you that Vinicius only has 5 goals in Seleçao, at 24 years old. For an attacker of his caliber, he's totally starving.
