‘Maybe he wanted to dance’: Aymeric Laporte jokes about Vinicius’ attitude during Spain-Brazil match

Too much tension? Too many emotions? Vinicius Junior, the striker for Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, is currently going through difficult times.

At a press conference on Monday, tearfully speaking about the racism he is regularly the target of, the young Seleção captain – at 23 wearing the armband for the first time in his career – was particularly emotional during Brazil’s 3-3 draw against Spain on Tuesday night in a friendly match.

The Madrilenian was at home at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, but could not help but collide with the opposition players, lose his temper and insult everything he could, first on the field and then on the touchline when he left the field. To the point where he was pinned by Aymeric Laporte, the French defender who went to Saudi Arabia, choosing the Spanish option.

Vinicius Jr. actually hit him in the back before the corner, forcing Laporta to push him away with a flick of the wrist. Later on social networks, the Frenchman returned to the stage, choosing the tone of a joke. “Maybe he wanted to dance,” he wrote to a touched and touched Vinicius, speaking about the racism of which he is the target.

On the field, the Brazilian (28 matches, 3 goals) was out of control. And he remained particularly angry even after being substituted by Douglas Luiz in the 71st minute. On the touchline, he continued to protest the referee’s decisions, in particular an unauthorized elbow to the face (79th) from Mark Cucurella to Endrick (warned for retaliating by jabbing at his fang-leg).

‘Madilena’ then provoked the entire Spanish bench, targeting in particular Alvaro Morata, La Roja captain and striker for Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid’s arch-rivals. Then the Brazilian headquarters tried to restrain him, but to no avail.
