In a play in the second half of the Sporting de Braga – Real Madrid match, Vinicius challenged a rival defender. They were glued to the sideline, face to face, Vinicius with the ball under control, both still. Then Vinicius began to make bicycles: he would pass his legs over the ball, feinting to one side and then to the other, without moving from the spot. Neither him nor the Sporting de Braga defender. There were several seconds with a lot of leg movement and nothing effective. The play continued and was forgotten. Or not so much. Mikel Camps, deputy spokesperson for the Barcelona board, had it very much in mind when he wrote this tweet, which he later deleted. “It’s not racism, he deserves a slap for being a clown and a lazy person, what do these unnecessary and meaningless bicycles represent in the center of the field.”
But in social networks everything remains, nothing is forgotten or deleted. Vinicius is the LaLiga footballer who has experienced the most episodes of racism, the last in the LaLiga match in Seville, when a spectator had to be expelled after making racist gestures at the Madrid striker. Vinicius celebrated the quick performance of the Andalusian club, while ironically saying that he was reliving an isolated event, number 19, he wrote on social networks.
Camps pointed out Vinicius a few days before Real Madrid goes to Montjuic to play against Barcelona in the first Clásico of the season with the atmosphere very heated by the Negreira Case and by Barcelona’s reaction. Laporta has decided that, in the absence of answers to the only question: Why was the vice president of the referees paid?, he is going to put himself in the role of victim and accuse Real Madrid. This has caused Florentino Pérez to measure his steps a lot when going to Barcelona. Last season he did not set foot at the Camp Nou and, as El Chiringuito announced, he will be in the box, but there will be no board lunch, something common in these games. Real Madrid fans did not like the hug between José Ángel Sánchez and Laporta at the LaLiga meeting.
In this atmosphere of maximum confrontation between the two most powerful entities in Spanish football, the match is going to be played and Vinicius arrives signaled by a manager, but also, prepared to hurt a rival who has problems in defense. “It’s unfortunate,” Rodrygo said after the game. In El Chiringuito there were also reactions. “If I say what I think about the insult to Vinicius, they’ll kick me out of the program.” “It’s unfortunate. Where is the” month that a club? “, said the former Real Madrid player Balboa. I don’t like Vinicius’ bicycles, but he doesn’t break any rules, if he wants me to do them,” said Óscar Pereiro. Josep Pedrerol opened the program with that: “The Clásico arrives with the Negreira Case hotter than ever and a Barcelona manager appears and Vinicius’ slit, more wood”
«He has returned to his best level. He scored a goal, which was narrowly disallowed, and gave two assists: to Rodrygo and Bellingham. He’s back and he’s back well. He has made the differences », explained Carlo Ancelotti of Vinicius’ match against Sporting Braga. He was in all of Real Madrid’s attacking plays. And more than that, it was the white team’s usual resource to do damage behind the Portuguese defense: “We try to put a line of four in defense and Bellingham sacrifices a lot on the left so that Vini Jr. is cooler in transitions and counterattacks . I don’t know how much distance Vini Jr. has traveled. The rival defensive line was very high and that’s how the first goal came about. They work well together with and without the ball. We have to improve in that aspect, but they are both doing well,” the Madrid coach continued after the clash.
Vinicius made four dribbles during the match, more than any other footballer and showed extraordinary ease in leaving his rivals without problems. The more they point out to him, the more prepared he is.
