The origin of the smile of "Lizarazu" Camavinga after the family misfortune: "You are the hope of the family"
Writing: ABRAHAM P. ROMERO (Special envoy) Rabat
The origin of the smile of "Lizarazu" Camavinga after the family misfortune: "You are the hope of the family"
For all this, the landing of the white team in
Rabat
to try to win the
Club World Cup
has been a source of oxygen for the Brazilian.
Neither in
Madrid 's
Champions League matches, nor in the
European Super Cup
nor in this tournament in
Morocco
have there been racist shouts, neither towards Vinicius nor towards any other footballer.
"
The problem is in Spain
," criticize those who know the Brazilian best.
The one in
Sao Goncalo
Meanwhile, he waits for the names of the people who have carried out these acts to come to light, especially the one from a couple of weeks ago, where a doll with his shirt was hung from a bridge, and he leaves a strong message to his close circle : «
I will not stop
».
tattoo of <HIT>Vinicius>/HIT>WORLD
The phrase has a double meaning.
On the one hand, it is a warning against racists, whom he will continue to face as he has done this week when he went out to publicly defend
Yago Dos Santos
, a basketball player from the German
Ulm
who was insulted in
Badalona
, and on the other, it is a warning about his style. of game.
«They say that Vinicius provokes.
Haggling is provoking?
Does it only cause in Spain?
In Europe he doesn't provoke
?
», argue sources close to the player.
115 fouls in 32 games
The
statistics
help to understand this situation and explain that Vinicius is treated with less football harshness in European and international competitions than in domestic ones.
So far in the 2022-2023 season, the Brazilian has suffered
115 fouls in 32 games
,
79 of them in the 20
LaLiga
games , 11 in the Copa del Rey, 11 in the Champions League, 9 in the Spanish Super Cup, 3 in the of Europe and 2 in the semifinal of the Club World Cup.
That is,
4 per game in the League
, 5.5 in the Cup, 4.5 in Arabia... And
1.8 in the Champions League
.
Will Vinicius haggle more in Spain than in Europe?
The other way around.
According to data from
WhoScored
, the Madrid player averages
3.8 dribbles in the Champions League and 2.8 in the League
.
For several months and especially as a result of the game that Madrid played in
Vallecas
against Rayo, Vinicius has been annoyed with what he believes is
little arbitration protection
over him.
Is right?
Let's go to the data.
Of the 79 fouls that he has suffered in the League,
11 have been punished with a yellow card and 1 with a red one
.
That is, the rival is reprimanded
15%
of the times he commits a foul.
In Europe the percentage is somewhat higher: 18%, two yellow cards for 11 fouls.
If he continued with this progression in the League, Vinicius would end the season with
152 fouls received
, 60 more than those suffered by
Nabil Fekir
(92) last year and 53 more than those accumulated by
Messi
(99) in his last year at Barça.
«
It is evident that they are going for him
», they criticize in Valdebebas.
And for some time now, the Brazilian has responded, he hasn't shut up.
After the Club World Cup he will rest and
will not be at the Bernabéu against Elche
because he has
five yellow cards
in the championship.
All in the last
12 games
.
After starting the first eight days of the League 'clean', he received the first for protesting against Barça.
The second came in Vallecas, a turning point, due to a challenge on Balliu;
then against
Cádiz
,
Athletic
and
Mallorca
.
Curiously, except for the classic, he received a card in the 4 league games in which
he was fouled
the most : 7 in Vallecas, 5 against the Andalusians, 6 in Bilbao and 10 on the island.
"Nobody is going to throw him out of Madrid"
"
The pressure doesn't matter to him
.
He has never cared, ”they say in their environment.
His head, for the moment, supports the weight of the controversy and he does not intend to make any decision, such as that of leaving LaLiga as some voices in Brazil request: "
No one is going to throw him out of Madrid
."
His football, despite everything, continues to respond.
Vinicius leads Madrid in
goals
(14, one more than Benzema) and
assists
(6, tied with Rodrygo), and receives more and more support from his colleagues.
"
I went on provoking Vinicius
and I think they went too far last weekend," admitted Dani García, Athletic midfielder.
«Vini does not provoke.
Perhaps they criticize him because he is better than the others, "said his friend Joao Félix.
