The controversial behavior of the Brazilian attacker of Real Madrid Vinicius Junior has repeatedly led to conflicts during matches both directly on the football field and outside the stands.

Many famous figures have already spoken about the actions of the “Galacticos” player, and there is also a noticeable polarity in views.

However, even in his homeland, Vinicius cannot always find support, as evidenced by the latest interview with former Real coach Wanderlei Luxemburgo da Silva, who worked at the club during 2005 and is also known for his experience with Vasco da Gama, Al Ittihad, Fluminense, Flamengo, Palmeiras, Al-Shabaab, Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Sants, Atlético Mineiro, Gremio and the Brazilian national team.

“Vinicius provokes numerous persecutions by doing what he shouldn’t do. It has nothing to do with racism. Racism in football is interpreted in a completely different way.

I still have before my eyes the moment in which the opponent politely returns the ball to Vinisus, and he throws the ball onto the lawn. The opponent picks it up and returns it to him again, and he throws it to the ground in the same way, and then ironically goes to that guy to talk about something.

On the other hand, there is Modric. Yes, in the same club. The opponent gives him the ball – he takes it without any questions. It cannot be like that,” said the Brazilian specialist.

We will remind that Vinicius was recognized as the best player of October in Real Madrid.
