    While Vinicius’ ability remains without question, helping him to become a Ballon d’Or contender, his on-field behaviour can attract unwelcome attention at times. The South American forward is often accused of being overly theatrical and argumentative.

  • WHAT PASSIONATE PUNDIT SAID

    RMC Sport journalist Daniel Riolo has told After Foot: “When we see the Vinicius sketch again, he never stops faking it. Against Osasuna, he's looking for this kind of penalty, but you want to tell him: 'Shut the f*ck up Vinicius!' Stop, don't go complaining that a referee is wrong when you're doing everything to fool him.

    “When you're trying to fake it, to get penalties, don't come complaining that there's a malfunction behind it. You're part of the system, you're all in it. Keep yelling if you want, but you're not moving things forward.”

    Riolo went on to say during an incredible rant: “Vinicius is unbearable. Florentino Perez [Real Madrid president] will not put up with Vinicius much longer. He remains an extraordinary player, he makes them win, but Real will not put up with a guy who has that attitude for long. This guy is unbearable.”
