aAn impressive derby. A match that had everything. Goals, penalties, sending offs, controversies… and personal vendettas. Vinicius replaced Simeone in response to the Argentine’s provocation in the last derby. It happened when he came on as a substitute and was under the watchful eye of the Argentine, who criticized his behavior.
The image of the Brazilian was discovered on DAZN’s Super8 program. And they weren’t the only ones. Vinicius was substituted in the 87th minute after scoring twice and headed to the Atleti bench to exact his revenge.
Vinicius Junior celebrates in front of coach Simeone after the big win
“They’re trying to sell me, they’re trying to sell me”
In this way, the Brazilian winger repeated the phrase “They are trying to sell me, they are trying to sell me…” four times. It was ‘revenge’, but to understand it we have to go back to the last derby in Saudi Arabia, when Simeone tried to provoke Vinicius by asserting that ‘Florentino was going to sell him’.
Those words did not go down well with the Atlético coach, who was clearly irritated by the Real Madrid player’s attitude during the substitution.
“I’m always fooled by the same people”
During Valverde’s red card, Arbeloa was genuinely angry that his own player had been given a red card. In response to this anger, the coach accused Baena of being a “liar” and said, “It’s always the same people who fool you, it’s always the same people who fool you.”
On the pitch, even the Uruguayan players were unbelievable. “Why does it turn red? Sometimes I go for the ball and it doesn’t reach me.” Munuela explained the severity of the tackle, and the Real Madrid manager continued in his own way: “Unbelievable, shameful.”
Even when the referee approached the bench to explain his actions, Arbeloa did not seem to change his mind. “We’re traveling. Have you ever played soccer?” I ended up telling him I’d watch it again later.
