The situation
Few footballers will benefit from the World Cup break than Vinicius . Because his legs will rest, from receiving so many sticks from his rivals, and also his head, which messes up his games because Vini insists on playing against his opponents and against the referee. And sometimes, if the game is outside, also against the public. The Brazilian allows himself to be engulfed by the other football. It is not about turning the other cheek, because he already took the two hot ones from Vallecas for the ‘applause’ that Balliu gave him all over his face. The evidence is on his side. Vinicius is hit, and a lot . He is the footballer who receives the most fouls in the five major leagues: 48. The Brazilian has suffered more offenses than Zaccagni (44, Lazio), Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund, 42), Ünal (Getafe, 39) and Zaha (Crystal Palace, 39). ). His average number of fouls received per game (3.4) has been surpassed in recent times. Elche made six, Rayo seven and Cádiz, five. Yesterday, the orchestra of fouls suffered by Vinicius began with Alejo (five fouls, but the first yellow card did not come… until the 55th minute) and was completed by San Emeterio (two fouls)… Ancelotti says that he cannot teach him not to fall for the provocations of others because his way of understanding this game is to assume that such actions are not part of it. Sometimes it seems unbelievable that Carletto is Italian and comes from a football where tactical fouls have been almost intrinsic for many years. Kroos did throw some kind of advice at the Brazilian. “If we react like this, we get into their game, we do what they want, I advocate playing soccer because we are a better team,” he said in the flash interview after the game.
The details
Perhaps the German was referring to a very specific moment in which Cádiz found its prize. The veteran Fali dedicated himself to verbally ‘squeezing’ Vinicius when the ball was stopped (and without it, Rodrygo, with his aggression in which the VAR had to suffer a blackout ) and as a result he got a yellow card in a dialectical spike Between both. Bingo. Fali certainly left the game with that yellow card but without Soto Grado calling him a foul.
