Vinicius Jr. has once again been the subject of criticism during Real Madrid’s contest against Leganes.
Despite playing a crucial part, the Brazilian forward’s night was marred by his questionable actions. He has been playing in a more central position to allow Kylian Mbappe to occupy the left wing as he created a wonderful assist for the Frenchman.
Referee Alberola Rojas rejected all calls for a penalty despite the fact that Vini was involved in several incidents and had dived in the box three times. VAR also chose not to step in since the acts were judged not to warrant a second look.
According to Madrid Universal, tensions on the pitch only seemed to increase as a result of Vinicius’ constant protestations and gestures. He confronted the Leganes defenders, who were becoming irritated with his theatrics as a result of his activities.

The player appears to have spent more time pleading for rulings than focusing on his game, indicating that this constant drama was undermining his poise and concentration.
After a second penalty appeal, Vinicius got into a little argument with the Leganes players, forcing the referee to issue a warning with a yellow card.
The 24-year-old’s behavior started to annoy fans in the stadium, and his disregard for the actual game added to the tension in the air.
He was nevertheless able to contribute to Real Madrid’s first goal in spite of these distractions. Vinicius appeared to be frustrated by his new position on the field, playing more centrally, as he was obviously uncomfortable with the adjustment.
This move in position was one of several tactical adjustments made by manager Carlo Ancelotti to the starting lineup.
