The Brazilian accumulates 11 yellow cards this season
In several matches of the Spanish league, wines jr he was the protagonist not only for what he does with the ball at his feet, but also for his reactions to the referees. According to “As”, Real Madrid are worried, as they believe that the athlete’s attitudes are damaging his performance on the pitch.
During the season, the Brazilian accumulates 11 yellow cards received, seven in La Liga and three in the Copa del Rey. With the leftovers, the No. 20 broke the record for refereeing bookings. In 2021/2022, the athlete received seven yellow cards, six in the Spanish league. The numbers have not only grown, but could still increase, given that there are at least 16 games left to play in 2022/2023.
After the clashes against Barcelona and Betis, Vini Jr has been at the center of discussions in the Spanish press for his reactions against the arbitrations. The Brazilian’s confrontation is seen on the one hand as natural, given that he is the player who suffers the most fouls in the Spanish league, but also as a lack of respect.
The Brazilian was hounded again on the pitch by his opponents last Sunday, having conceded six of the 12 fouls committed by the home side. In the final minutes the athlete received a yellow card for a complaint and risked expulsion for confusion with Claudio Bravo in extra time.
This Monday morning, José Félix Díaz, journalist of “Marca”, published an article in which he underlined that Vini Jr “suffered six fouls, but in the end the yellow card is always his. Gestures are punished more than kicks”. José Luis Calderón instead praised the attacker’s departure, but stated that the player “gets lost in wars that have nothing to do with the game”.
In Barcelona the “Mundo Deportivo” highlighted a “very altered” Vini Jr protesting harshly against the refereeing of Soto Grado. The diary indicates that the Brazilian “protested more than he played” and that the match referee was benevolent in most of the confrontation, only yellowing the attacker in the 39th minute of the final phase.
The newspaper also recalls that the Real Madrid number 20 escaped expulsion in the classic against Barcelona, for the Copa del Rey, after tangling with Frenkie de Jong and knocking the Dutch midfielder on the Santiago Bernabeu lawn. In addition to this episode, the newspaper claims that Vini Jr was also not punished in the confrontation against Osasuna, which took place on February 18, after having pronounced serious insults against the referee José Luis Munuera Montero, the same one who refereed the derby of last Thursday.
The player missed Carlo Ancelotti’s side against Elche on 15 February after receiving his fifth yellow card and being subject to automatic suspension. Despite the controversy and confusion, the athlete continues to be an essential part of Real Madrid, having scored 18 goals and contributed eight assists this season.
