Real Madrid – La Liga Brazilian on thin ice
R.eal Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has an attack against his name Zinedine Zidane‘s book after his costly mistakes in the Copa del Rey defeat against Alcoyano.
The Brazilian missed a great opportunity to settle the tie and then was guilty of soft goals that forced extra time, which will not have done him any good on his return to the starting line-up.
In the 78th minute, he chose to go it alone rather than square Karim Benzema, but his gamble didn’t pay off, for himself or Los Blancos’ future in the league.
Two minutes later, he allowed Jose Solbes an easy finish on the back post from a corner, despite Marcelowarnings to flag.
Vinicius hastily chose to prioritize getting off the counterattack, even after Marcelo told him “don’t mess up!” after its mark on the corner immediately before.
As soon as the goal went in, the left back looked up to his fellow countryman, looking for an explanation, just as Zidane did afterwards.
Vinicius, which in recent weeks, thanks in part Eden Hazard‘s return, had a chance on Wednesday evening to file a claim for more regular action, but his double fault may have done the exact opposite.
