'Shut the f*ck up!' - Vinicius Junior warned Real Madrid will grow tired of his 'unbearable attitude' in astonishing rant

LaLiga

Real Madrid

Girona

<p>The Brazil international is a talismanic presence at Santiago Bernabeu, having played leading roles in La Liga and Champions League title triumphs. He has a further 17 goals to his name this season through 32 appearances in all competitions.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While Vinicius’ ability remains without question, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ballon-d-or-winner-why-vinicius-jr-ignoring-golden-ball-talk-champions-league-final-real-madrid/blt6e577c5d13c04eae" target="_blank">helping him to become a Ballon d’Or contender</a>, his on-field behaviour can attract unwelcome attention at times. The South American forward is often <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/talking-to-child-petulant-vinicius-jr-irritating-own-team-mates-brazilian-attitude-slammed-real-madrid-legend/blt4d0e3c6150446785" target="_blank">accused of being overly theatrical and argumentative</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>That is considered to have been the case in his most recent outing, as Real played out a 1-1 draw with Osasuna in a contest that saw <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-could-be-saved-mason-greenwood-precedent-real-madrid-appeal-controversial-red-card/bltb80470dd7675c1a5" target="_blank">Jude Bellingham handed a controversial red card</a>. Throughout said game, Vinicius was seen complaining to the match officials.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p><a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/liga/le-real-ne-supportera-pas-longtemps-un-mec-qui-a-cette-attitude-la-riolo-exaspere-par-le-comportement-de-vinicius-jr_AV-202502180410.html " target="_blank"><em>RMC Sport</em></a> journalist Daniel Riolo has told After Foot: “When we see the Vinicius sketch again, he never stops faking it. Against Osasuna, he's looking for this kind of penalty, but you want to tell him: 'Shut the f*ck up Vinicius!' Stop, don't go complaining that a referee is wrong when you're doing everything to fool him.</p><p>“When you're trying to fake it, to get penalties, don't come complaining that there's a malfunction behind it. You're part of the system, you're all in it. Keep yelling if you want, but you're not moving things forward.”</p>

WHAT PASSIONATE PUNDIT SAID

<p>Riolo went on to say during an incredible rant: “Vinicius is unbearable. Florentino Perez [Real Madrid president] will not put up with Vinicius much longer. He remains an extraordinary player, he makes them win, but Real will not put up with a guy who has that attitude for long. This guy is unbearable.”</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Vinicius has become the subject of intense transfer speculation in Madrid, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/saudi-pro-league-ceo-vinicius-junior-transfer-matter-of-time-real-madrid-mega-offer/blt05c327ff8f112bf9" target="_blank">big-spending teams in the Saudi Pro League</a> reportedly ready to make offers to the 24-year-old that could <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/saudi-arabia-world-record-300m-transfer-bid-vinicius-junior-real-madrid-superstar-join-cristiano-ronaldo-middle-east-1bn-contract/blt611a0d1ee09ef39b" target="_blank">see him earn €1 billion (£830m/$1bn) over the course of a five-year contract</a>.</p>
