Everyone thought Vini will be the next Ronaldo but at this point I will say he is lucky to even get to Mbappe’s level.
Vini has always been trash, idk how Madrid fans liked him
If it’s money he can get £1m a week in Saudi
Real Madrids scouting team think they’re playing fifa career mode that’s why. Galacticos never make a good team.
The best Vini was when he thought Jude was gonna win the Ballon d’Or and didn’t care about some stupid award.
Lmao…i thought Rodrygo was on his way out, now this? 😅
Madrid does not treat their stars to good.
Real Madrid have enough confusion before we get to the players.
Vinicious Left wing11
Kylie Left wing 11
Rodrigo left wing 11.
The 3 are basically doing the same Job.
Keeping benzema was better than buying mpappe
Probably Kyle is overrated.if it's for advertising fine if not president is in need of a brain surgery.
With upcoming Brazilian youths i don't see him in balloon dor contest.
Unless they want to introduce super subs.
Suck it we're the best and you try to write against it
People’s ’voice over' voices are really weird. Imagine if this guy spoke to his mates like this. They’d think he was a right weirdo.
When he said he was going to do it 10x, I guess he meant 10x worse
Not winning the ballon do’r ? One he didn’t deserve in the first place ?
The reason he falls out of favour is because he can’t stop complaining when things don’t go his way .
Alonso won't last a year at Real. Defensive managers never do well there.
the greed and ungratefulness of this guy pisses me off. you're publicly rejecting 20 million a year, when hundreds of millions of people dont even have food to eat.
He has returned to factory setting
I agree he should be paid lile Ronaldo. So 10 Millionen a season beacuse he only scores a thrid of the goals
Disgraceful how much Ancelloti held back Endrick and Arda Guler. You could have two lamine Yamal's instead of you have almost one. I'm one of Arda's biggest fans and I'm so happy that Alonso will give the youngsters more minutes. Vini in recent games has looked completely washed. Most entitled player in football, overpaid and overhyped. Getting Paul Pogba vibes from him. Like how long til Vini drops a music video? Rodrygo looks a lot better than he does yet he's the player that I'm reading about leaving? Crazy business from Real. If Vini leaves Real Madrid his attitude is going to cause issues everywhere he goes.
He doesnt deserve RM. Double standard player who cries about the smallest fouls and goes crazy when he is mad and kicks his opponents.
He should be banned with that behaviour.
The problem is everyone are tired of his attitude
you would think finishing runners up in ballon dor would spurs his motivation and form, and yet it seems to be doing completely the opposite smh
Well, yeah. I'd expect him to play LW over Mbappe… he is actually a winger after all, Mbappe isn't.
Love Vini but I feel like the pain I’d feel from losing him would be less than the pain I’d get get from losing Rodrygo
Football daily OG
Imagine going to the Real Madrid board, demanding that he deserves the same pay that only Ronaldo ever got. Even Mbappe doesn’t get much and who tf does he think he is? Let him go to Saudi. He can go, and the club will keep on winning trophies like always while he will fade into irrelevance
Great to see Mzansi and Zim playing each other
@arsenal
Bigger, bigger, n
People really love Hating on Vini dont they. No wonder he ddnt win that Balondor which is voted by biased and unfair people. Can you imagine some people said he wasnt top 10 that season and those people are apparently responsible for voting a fkng joke. Balondor such a fraudulent award.
😮
Vini has a attitude issue. Get rid of him
He looks heavy and less interested in football
Realistically he has a ego and mental problem, he acts like a baby
He got to the peak, and though "I'm good". Then arrogance kicked in.
What does A mean? Defintion please🙏🏾
Finishush Junior
"I'll do it 10 times if I have to. They're not ready"
😂
This guy won them 2 UCL. Don't forget that.
He is playing at 10x. Imagine how good he would be if he gave it 20x more.
People saying to sell Vini to keep mbappe are just absolutely brainless
Seller him while they can get big money
20 mill net a season is crazy 😂
im so happy to see his downfall…. he thinks Xabi Alonso is his daddy, Ancelotti 😂😂😂😂. 💔😠
Vini fell off TBH he has a bad attitude and ego problem and it’ll be the death of him (figuratively)
Most overrated player in the world, anyone who watches La Lagi atleast semi regularly will tell you the same, never been great – but he turned up in big CL games, so now everyone thinks he's like that all the time
20m for a bullshit player 😂😂😂
€30m net per season is genuinely outrageous. Vinicius isn’t that good. This market has led to players having delusional salary demands in recent years.
TL:DR: Because he's got a massive ego and can't accept not winning the Balon d'Or so has fell off.
