Vinícius and Real Madrid: criticism over ‘unfair’ treatment of the winger

Roberto Gómez strongly criticises what he calls the harsh treatment Vinícius Júnior has been receiving at Real Madrid. In his piece, he argues the winger does not deserve the severity coming from parts of the madridista support, where criticism has even extended to calls for the club to move him on.

He points back to Vinícius’s early arrival, describing how he joined the setup at a very young age, stepped up from Castilla to the first team, and has shown deep loyalty to the club’s colours—“defending like the one who wants the most.” Gómez adds that, to his knowledge, “never before” has the environment seen something like this.

Published on MARCA, the opinion focuses on the current backlash against the player and contrasts it with how his recent commitment is viewed in the club’s story.
