Former Real Madrid striker, Fernando Morientes, has noted that Vinicius Jr disrespected his manager, Xabi Alonso, his national teammate, Rodrygo, and the fans with his actions after he was subbed off during the El Clasico on Sunday.
He said that the Brazilian had every opportunity to talk with his manager if there was a problem.
Morientes told Tiempo de Juego that the Brazilian did not do so, adding, “First of all, it seems to me like a lack of respect for the coach.
You can be angry, you can show your discontent, and then let your coach know about it the next day.
“I also think it’s a lack of respect for the player who’s coming on, who’s a teammate of yours, not just at Madrid but on the national team as well.
“And a lack of respect for the fans, the coaching staff, everyone.”
Vinicius lasted 72 minutes on the pitch in the game against Barça and was replaced by Rodrygo.
The Brazil international has now played 90 minutes for Los Blancos just three times in 19 games under Xabi Alonso.
