The president of Real Madrid spoke openly with the biggest star after the club lost today in the 30th round of La Liga against Valencia (1:2).
Real is 'chasing' Barcelona and therefore the match with Valencia on home soil was a "must win", but it turned into agony.
Madrid had to play this match without their first (Courtois) and second (Lunin) goalkeepers, with an inexperienced 19-year-old in goal, and everything led to a heavy defeat.
Little consolation for Real, it turned out later, is that Barcelona did not beat Betis, so instead of +6 they have 'only' +4, which is certainly achievable, even if you take into account that these rivals will meet once before the end of the season in La Liga, albeit in Barcelona.
Vinicius Junior did not make a name for himself again. The Brazilian representative shot a penalty in front of Kylian Mbappe, but it was saved by the Georgian in the Valencia goal. Another debatable game by the South American star and he 'turned up his nose' again, ran out of the stadium and left disappointed without any greeting.
It was also difficult for the Brazilian to accept that some of his fans booed him. Therefore, President Florentino Perez felt the need to stop him and give him a few motivating and comforting words.
"They booed Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul and Casillas here. Don't think they don't love you, on the contrary, these people are simply used to success and they want to stimulate you and give you strength in this way," Perez told him.
Perez also told him that he simply has to accept criticism and that he is someone around whom a lot of things revolve in Madrid and that he considers him the most important member of the team at the moment.
In his latest post on social media, Vini Júnior is celebrating equaling Ronaldo's number of goals at Real Madrid. Undoubtedly, an important milestone, but it was not the day to make it public.
Los Blancos said goodbye to LaLiga for many, and Vinicius was not up to the task. However, Real still has a lot of fight ahead of it and everything is still open.
Madrid will face Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and it is possible that we will see them in the final against Barcelona, who will now play Borussia Dortmund. We will remind you that the two biggest Spanish rivals also meet in the Cup final at the end of the month.
Otherwise, Carlo Ancelotti is trying to solve the problem he has with the grumpy Vinicius. He doesn't stop talking, and the cameras caught interesting moments during the King's Cup match against Real Sociedad.
Vinicius Jr
Vinicius Junior can't do without a story on the pitch. A long tongue and frequent arguments with opponents, referees and fans eventually left him without the Ballon d'Or, and even after that he did not find a way to calm down.
The Brazilian is constantly in the center of attention. Carlo Ancelotti tries to suggest to him to keep quiet because any conversation on the field is superfluous, but Vini does not stop.
Luka Modrić also had some disagreements with the Brazilian, whom he wanted to tell to be more responsible and mature and to respect the people around him more.
The best in the world according to FIFA has played 41 matches this season and has an output of 18 goals and 13 assists, but unfortunately for Real, the 24-year-old striker often knows how to disappoint and miss a big chance or a penalty, but he and everyone in Madrid know that all this is just an integral part of this game.
