Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos spoke about the interaction with Vinicius Junior during joint performances. The Brazilian is often criticized for his provocative behavior.

“I told Vinicius many times that enough is enough, because it felt like the team was suffering because of his actions. I understand that it can annoy anyone – the opponent, the referee or the public. Because of this, everything can turn against the team.

I often tried to calm Vinicius on the field so he wouldn’t go off track. Always told him: ‘You’re so good, why do you need this?'” Kroos was quoted as saying AS.

Real Madrid leads the Spanish league, three points ahead of second-placed Barcelona.

Earlier it was reported that Real does not see any prospects in the negotiations regarding the contract with Vinicius.
