Vinicius Receives a Reprimand from His Teammates: Captains Raise Their Voices and the Brazilian Accepts

Vinicius has received a stern warning within Real Madrid. Eduardo Inda, director of OKDiario, revealed on El Chiringuito de Jugones that three of the team’s four captains—Luka Modric, Lucas Vázquez, and Fede Valverde—have confronted the Brazilian about his attitude both on and off the pitch. The primary concerns: his individualism and his involvement in frequent on-field disputes.

Inda explained: “Vinicius has been criticized for two reasons by three of the four captains, as Carvajal, the fourth, is currently injured. The issues raised were his individualism and the confrontations he engages in from time to time.” According to the journalist, Modric, Vázquez, and Valverde urged Vinicius to improve his behavior.

Vinicius’ Individualism Sparks Concern

Real Madrid boasts a squad filled with talent, and under Carlo Ancelotti’s leadership, team cohesion is always a priority. However, Vinicius has faced criticism for focusing too much on his personal play, sometimes neglecting the collective dynamic. The captains believe that for the team to perform at its best, the Brazilian must be more team-oriented and not try to handle everything on his own.

Beyond his individualism, Vinicius has also been criticized for his on-field behavior, particularly his protests against referees and provocations towards opponents. “These situations prevent his teammates from seeing the best version of Vinicius,” said Inda.

During the match against Manchester City at the Etihad, Vinicius maintained his composure and avoided unnecessary confrontations. However, in other games, he has reacted negatively towards rivals, raising concerns within the locker room.

Vinicius Acknowledges the Criticism

Despite the reprimand, Vinicius has accepted his teammates’ feedback. Sources close to the team indicate that the player understands the need to improve his attitude both on and off the pitch to continue growing and establishing himself as one of the team’s key stars.

Meanwhile, rumors about a possible move to an Arabian club persist, though Real Madrid remains firm in its desire to keep him. However, as seen in past cases with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos, the club is unlikely to compromise on its stance easily.
