• 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".
