Vinícius Junior is asked to bet on the pitch – and lose. His weak penalty reveals an unusual real problem.
Real Madrid has an unusual problem: the superstars of the royal failure from the penalty point regularly. The most recent example: Vinícius Júnior’s attempted walks in the surprising defeat against FC Valencia.
An action by Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has now proven that a real penalty for the opponent is currently not necessarily a bad news. This concluded with Vinícius in front of the parried shot, as he revealed himself.
Giorgi Mamardashvili makes a bet with Vinicius Junior – and wins
“I had a conversation with Vinícius and won 50 euros,” the Georgian told the journalist after the game with a broad grin.
Only Mbappé meets reasonably reliable
“Yes, I asked him if he wanted to bet around 50 euros and he said. I parried and won,” he said with a laugh.
Vinícius has not yet paid the betting debts, said Mamardashvili.
“Vini” was allowed to take five times from the point in the current season, and only three shots also landed on the net. His quota is 60 percent. Jude Bellingham is 50 percent (two penalty) and Kylian Mbappé 75 percent (eight 911). In total, only two thirds of the real penalty are in.
Madrid still has no permanent penalty shooter. He wanted to provide Vinícius self -confidence, said coach Carlo Ancelotti. He left open who should compete in the future.
