Vinícius Júnior once again criticized the Clásico. The contract negotiations are stalling. Not too long ago, the world footballer had promised that he wanted to become legend at Real.
The championship is only theoretically to be taken from the Catalans by winning and finally comes into deep despair. After the final defeats in the Copa del Rey and in the Supercup, the Madrilenen must also hand in the third Spanish title on the big rivals. It could be ready on Wednesday. If Real won’t win his home game against Mallorca (from 9:30 p.m. in the live ticker), Barcelona is Spanish champion.
Vinícius Júnior disappointed against FC Barcelona
The criticism of the real stars was subsequently loud, especially world footballer Vinícius Júnior. At the beginning of the year, the 24-year-old had declared that he wanted to be a legend in Madrid. But his performance in the Olympic Stadium of Barcelona was anything but legendary.
“What Vinícius does there is incredible, it is a shame, just a shame,” raged the former real professional and today’s TV expert Álvaro Benito during the transfer of Carrusel Deportivo . “He is supposed to do it,” Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, “said Benito.
The Brazilian was able to convince little with his appearance in the prestigious duel, but was only replaced in the 88th minute. Previously, Vinícius caused astonishment after it had worked as if he had asked for the substitution himself, even though he continued to play for a few minutes. “He had a sprain on the ankle,” said Ancelotti after the game and briefly assured: “I made the change.”
As the club announced on Monday, you will probably have to do without the battered Vinícius for the time being. In investigations, “a sprain of the left ankle was diagnosed”. The club did not provide information about a downtime or the further procedure.
Vinícius was criticized by his attitude on the lawn long before his replacement. “The game of Vinícius was like that of Rodrygo in the cup final. They go for a walk, just defend with their eyes … that’s incredible,” Benito criticized the appearance of the real star.
Real stars are not criticized for the first time
It is not the first time that the mileage and the commitment of the wing player will come across trouble. Following the 0: 3 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against FC Arsenal, Radio Marca had published details of a conversation between Ancelotti and the offensive trio around Vinícius, Kylian Mbappé and Rodrygo.
La League: Data Center
The conversation is said to have taken place in February after Real lost 2: 5 against FC Barcelona. What Ancelotti particularly frustrated: Mbappé only ran five kilometers against the Catalans at the time, according to Ancelotti “less than Courtois”, the goalkeeper of the royal. While the team, on the other hand, also ran 12.7 kilometers less than the opponent on the bankruptcy against Arsenal, a similar incident was repeated around Vinícius on Sunday.
For TV expert Benito, this deficit is one of the greatest challenges for the new trainer, who could be called Xabi Alonso from summer. “The coach who comes, has a lot of work in front of him – he has to change the mentality of some players. Just like Vinícius, you can’t play football: just defending with your eyes, saving yourself, saving, not attacking, not pressing …” said Benito.
Vinícius: Contract poker with Real runs
Vinícius not only ensures a lot of conversation on the pitch, but also away from it. For a long time it was said that the Brazilian had agreed with the association to extend the contract that was running until 2027.
However, the Marca only reported on Wednesday could not be a question. “The deal is far from being closed, it said in the past week from the Brazilian area,” reported the sports sign.
The reason why the negotiations are currently on ice are the excessive salary demands of the player side from a real perspective. According to this, Vinícius demanded 30 million euros net a year, but Real wants to pay a maximum of 20 million. Kylian Mbappé is also currently to earn that much.
In order to emphasize the claims, the Vinícius page also negotiates with representatives of the Saudi Arabian Pro League about a possible change to the desert.
Regardless of how the poker is still developing, Vinícius is currently still a long way from becoming a legend at Real.
