The Brazilian winger dazzles on the ball but leaves a lot to be desired in other ways

Madrid have a problem called Vinicius Junior. Faced with Karim Benzema's slump, the Brazilian has become the most dangerous offensive weapon for Real Madrid. At the same time, he is the main headache and has become a real nightmare for his manager. Vinicius embodies the best and the worst of a footballer.

On the one hand he is tricky and daring, on the other he is a bad team-mate and just because he wears the white shirt of Madrid, he is spared a lot of red cards he should suffer. If Lewandowski received a three-match ban for insulting a referee, Vinicius does it in every game. And in every game the referees turn a blind eye, as if not seeing how much he insults, disrespects and belittles them.

Ancelotti despairs on the touchline when Vinicius does his own thing and assumes a leading role that he should avoid because they are actions that do nothing to help his team. Such is his desperation that nobody in the 'White House' is ruling out an exit for the Brazilian in the event of being able to sign Mbappé because, moreover, the Frenchman plays in the same position as Vinicius.

Players like Modric, who, like Ancelotti, knows the ins and outs of the sport, also get angry with Vinicius when he sees that he is incapable, like yesterday at the Camp Nou, of chasing down his marker when he escapes him. The play, by the way, ended with Sergi Roberto's goal. And both Modric or Kroos cursed their team-mate.
