His continuous protests have thrust him into the center of the refereeing controversy, earning him the title of the most cautioned player in La Liga. Referees have issued three yellow cards to him for his blatant disregard of their decisions. Unfortunately, this negative trend has had a ripple effect on the team and his fellow teammates. Real Madrid players have received a total of nine cautions for protesting in just seven league games, with three of them occurring during the match against Alavés on Tuesday night.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is growing tired of the antics of Vinicius Jr.AdvertisementAdvertisementAncelotti did not mince words afterwards, stating: "The rules have changed and we have to get used to this. We have to avoid protests and that's it. It's not fair or unfair, we have to adapt to this and that's it."
Now it's suggested Ancelotti, who is the person who has defended him the most at the club and who maintains an almost paternal role with the player, has spoken to him personally, as has his son Davide and the rest of the staff. And he has given up on him.
Vinicius does not pay attention to the advice or orders of his superiors. He continues to cause incidents game after game with protests that endanger his stay on the pitch, as happened against Alavés. The player does not heed the coach's requests and as such, now the dressing room, like their coach, has grown tired of mediating on and off the pitch for the Brazilian.
