Vinicius Jr.’s karma against Atlético Madrid: he mocked De Paul, insulted Simeone and was the photo of the defeat

Vinicio Jr. seems to be a constant novelty in the True Madrid, both in victory and in failure. A few days ago he shone in the classic against Barcelona, ​​scoring a hat-trick and leaving the team led by Xavi Hernández in crisis. Now he has gone from mockery to mockery towards his other rival in Spain, the Atletico Madrid.

After winning the Super Cup in which he was a hero, the Brazilian experienced a trial by fire in the Metropolitano derby, in constant effervescence. He had already eliminated the Colchonero in the semi-finals of that competition. Now was the time King’s Cupin the round of 16 and knockout stage, and there was another good match but this time the team Diego Simeonwinning 4-2 in extra time after drawing 2-2 in the 90s.

Vini, as they affectionately call the former Flamengo player, was at the center of the clash for almost the entire match: scolded for protesting, arguing with his rivals, with Cholo and the stands of the local team.

Brilliant in his play, always unbalanced, good in one-on-one situations, always in command of Real Madrid when they needed it most, every time they were behind on the scoreboard.

Tireless in his search for the goal that eluded him in the derby: he only scored one out of thirteen played, and he scored it a year ago in another overtime, against an already eliminated Atlético.

Reprimanded for his protests to the referee after flagging a ball receiver who on multiple occasions prevented him from quickly exiting the outside, he was fueling that part of his personality that he recently admitted to studying at home by repeatedly watching games. try to correct.

The Atlético de Madrid players, the Cholo and all the Metropolitan fans knew of Vinícius’ importance: the climate against him was evident, which in this case was based exclusively on football issues, without racist overtones and worthy of note.

The provocation went back and forth because Vinícius entered the game and made countless gestures. They constitute a particular motivation towards oneself but are also interpreted as provocation by the opponents and the stands. The yellow card didn’t stop him. He celebrated the equalizer so much at the end of the first half, after a mistake by Jan Oblak, that many thought it was his goal.

At one point it seemed spicy Rodrigo DePaulsaying things to each other amid laughter and football quibbles: Vini points to his shield and says “I play for Real Madrid”.

When he lifted his shirt during a corner kick, the whole crowd scolded him. When he raised his arms towards the small area where there were dozens of madriditas, the southern end of the Metropolitano considered it a provocation. When he celebrated the second goal that sent the match to extra time, with a shot into the stands, Cholo called for him to be sent off. And every time the camera focused on him he stuck out his tongue.

After the 2-2 draw, his celebration caused Simeone to come out of his area and go and speak in his ear, words to which Vini responded. The coach then explained it to Kroos, and in the subsequent conference he clarified that these were things that remained on the pitch.

Another video shows the Brazilian marking the number 7 on his shirt with his fingers and pointing to the pitch, as if to say that he was the one who dominated there, an action that Simeone scolds him from afar, imitating the gesture and shouting. he: “Seven, your sister’s pussy…”an insult that cost him the referee’s yellow card.

Vinícius suffered numerous infringements, with which he was stopped when his rivals did not arrive in time. The Brazilian didn’t speak, but his coach Ancelotti did, who takes care of him like a son: “It was a very hard-fought match, where there were many duels, sometimes you don’t always manage to keep a cool head in some moments of the match.” matches and “It’s quite understandable,” he justified.

Another of the images that Vini gave in his hot match concerned that dramatic and dizzying final which ended up being decided by the goal of Anthony Griezmann. Shortly before, the Brazilian had tried to score a great goal and after Oblak’s save he had chosen to raise his head and say in the air “I’m very well, my God…”.

Karma in football is usually a constant and shortly afterwards there was that brilliant play by the French champion, who stole the ball and escaped Vini’s goal which resulted in Real Madrid’s elimination.
