Vinicius He has been a protagonist for some time because of what is customary to call the other football than because of his performance on the pitch. The Brazilian winger has lost steam as he has been assuming the role of victim and putting the fan in front of the media to throw dirt at his rivals, accusing them of using violence and unsportsmanlike methods to stop him. The reality, however, is that the Real Madrid striker is getting too distracted by incidental issues at the same rate that he has been losing the ability to make a difference.
His latest complaint, by assuring in an interview with the Reuters agency that he feared missing the World Cup due to the hunt to which both he and his teammate Rodrygo have been subjected in recent games, highlights his hypocritical victimhood. Vinicius It is obvious that he ‘loves’ to provoke his rivals and that he spends a lot of time and effort trying to deceive the referees by simulating tackles or attacks. You don’t have to be very smart to know that the more you irritate your rival, the more ‘caresses’ you will receive.
It seems that Vinicius has been distracted. Or maybe he has more fun warming up the games than solving them. The data seems to suggest so. The Brazilian was left blank in the last two games he played with the real Madrid, against Cádiz and Rayo Vallecano, precisely where there was the most tension around him.
The reality is that Vinicius has scored three goals in the last ten games with the Real Madrid shirt and has not given any assistance in the last five. Despite this, he puts on the victim’s suit. If he wants to shine on the world Cup, he should forget about ‘motivating’ rivals with absurd and childish provocations. If you want to become the most unsympathetic character in the League, you’re on the right track.
