Chronicle Vinicius grows in punishment to launch Madrid in Mallorca
Direct Narration and Statistics
Vinicius
is, along with
Fekir
and
Joao Félix
, the footballer who receives the most fouls in each game he plays: two and a half.
This circumstance, the result of dribbling ability and the number of possessions per game that the Brazilian manages, is beginning to despair the
Madrid
striker .
He has been angry with the referees for several weeks, complaining about the little respect he receives from the referees and confronting his rivals.
Sometimes he is not right, but other times, the vast majority, he protests with arguments.
This Monday in
Son Moix
, the heels of
Maffeo 's boot,
Mallorca
's right-back
, hit the Brazilian's left knee with force.
Defense and striker had already faced each other a couple of times due to the harshness with which
Vinicius
considered that his rival was being used, but in that action, in which no foul was called, the former
Flamengo
jumped against the local footballer and against the referee.
So much so that
Sánchez Martínez
, who had ignored his complaints, took a yellow card that drove his teammates and the club crazy.
"It's a shame," those who know Vinicius best messaged, asking Madrid to defend him in the press room.
"The game had a lot of strong contacts, I think the referee played a good game," Ancelotti assured after the duel.
After yesterday's break, which was reached with a 0-0 led by the controversy, Vinicius jumped onto the field a few meters from Sánchez Martínez and took the opportunity to
show him the mark of the studs on his knee
.
Luckily for Madrid, the Brazilian disconnected from the controversy and focused on football.
In the final stretch of the first half he had already been the best, but after the intermission he decided on a difficult match.
The Vinicius-Benzema connection
A good pressure from Valverde ended in a robbery on Baba in three quarters of the Mallorca field.
The ball reached Benzema, who handed the leather to Vinicius so that the Brazilian scored under the legs of
Sergio Rico
.
A 0-1 that made Madrid more of a leader after Sevilla's draw and that improved Vinicius's data in the League:
14 goals and 6 assists
in the championship.
Once again, his connection with Benzema gave Ancelotti a new victory.
The Frenchman, in addition to top scorer, is the tournament's
top assister
with eleven assists.
A perfection that the Madrid captain corroborated throughout the second half.
On the Whites' second goal, he started from the middle of the field, cut off his rival and assisted Vinicius, who was shot down inside the area.
Benzema scored the penalty
and put the
21st goal
on his personal scoreboard.
Minutes later, a measured cross from Marcelo headed the net to accumulate
22 goals
,
eight more than Vinicius
and nine difference with
Enes Unal, Iago Aspas and Raúl de Tomás
, the top scorers of the League beyond Madrid.
The bad news
The night, however, had some bad news in store for the French striker and the Chamartín team.
The Frenchman hurt his
left calf
during the action of the third goal and had to leave the game early between obvious signs of pain.
He did it on his own foot, but with a limp.
In case of injury, it
would be the third of the season
.
He left the match against Real in December, but came to play a few days later against Atlético.
More serious was the muscular problem that kept him out for two games last month.
A headache for Ancelotti five days before the classic against Barcelona.
The Italian will also be aware of
Mendy and Rodrygo
, who also left injured.
The Frenchman with hamstring problems and the Brazilian after a strong blow to the instep of his right foot.
"
Now we can't say anything
, we have to wait, but
I don't think it's something serious
," Ancelotti said before the Movistar+ microphones.
"Those
tickets are part of football
, I'm not going to argue with the referee," declared Fede Valverde, also in line with his coach.
The Uruguayan, key in the 0-1, admitted that the victory "is a blow to the League" now that Madrid is ten points behind second place.
More forceful was
Butragueño
, always restrained in his interventions.
The spokesman for the white team asked the arbitration establishment for "reflection".
"The challenge they made to Vinicius in the first half and Rodrygo's injury
are very dangerous
and, if the referee hasn't seen them for whatever reason, the VAR has to intervene. Together we all have to try to avoid them.
They are very hard, very hard
. We have to make sure that they don't happen because of football".
