Ruud Gullit Advises Vinicius Junior to Stay Composed Like Messi After Red Card Incident
Former Netherlands star Ruud Gullit has urged Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior to take a page from Lionel Messi’s book when handling tough situations on the pitch.
Gullit offered this advice after Vinicius was involved in a heated incident during Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory over Valencia in La Liga.
The Brazilian forward was shown a straight red card in the 79th minute after slapping Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski on the head.
The referee, Cesar Soto Grado, explained in his official report that the dismissal was for “deliberately hitting an opponent in the head with non-negligible force while the ball was not in play.”
The incident also earned Vinicius a two-game suspension.
Speaking on Ziggo Sport, Gullit criticized Vinicius’ actions and demeanor, suggesting that his behavior often draws unnecessary trouble.
“I understand he felt provoked by the goalkeeper, but Vinicius needs to look at Messi.
Messi got kicked all the time, but he simply got up and kept playing,” Gullit said.
Gullit added, “When you constantly complain and provoke others, you can’t expect sympathy.
I’m sure Real Madrid has spoken to him about this, but it seems like he struggles to let go of these habits.”
Former Team Chief Scout, Mick Brown shares his insights on Player Ola Aina’s future with Nottingham Forest. Aina is one of the sought players for the January window transfer. The player captured the eyes of many international teams and was even linked to Manchester City.
However it seems Nottingham Forest might just be the team to get the player, the team is eager to sign a contract as Aina’s contract is about to expire.
Mick Brown Commented o this situation “They’re desperate to get him tied down. I’d expect those talks to progress quickly, and I think they’ll be edging closer to that agreement. From what I know, he’s very happy there and they want him to stay, so it’s a no-brainer.”
“He’s strong defensively, gets his foot in to win the ball, and he can play going forward, he’s a good technician, and he’s done brilliantly.”
Real Madrid Manager, Carlo Ancelotti calls out the La Liga match against Valencia. A two-match ban was given to player Vinicius Junior during the match with a red card. Ancelotti stated that the move was unfair and uncalled for.
Vinicius was sent out during Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory at Mestalla on Friday. The sudden ban now means the player will be out of the Las Palmas and Real Valladolid match.
Ancelotti comments “Both he and I hear what happens in the stadiums, the insults… the ban is not right.”
“I’m tired because when people talk about Vinicius provoking (people), they’re deflecting from the insults he receives from everyone.”
Kelechi Iheanacho’s agent, Roger Wittman, has swiftly shut down rumors linking the Nigerian forward to Egyptian football powerhouse Al Ahly ahead of the winter transfer window.
Recent reports had suggested that Al Ahly was keen on securing Iheanacho’s services, but Wittman dismissed these claims, stating that no representatives from the club had reached out to discuss the potential move.
“No one from Egypt has contacted us to talk about the footballer, so the news is completely false,” he said in an interview with AS.
Iheanacho, who made the move to La Liga side Sevilla, has found it difficult to secure a regular spot in the first team.
He is yet to make an impact, failing to register any goals or assists in his nine league appearances for the Rojiblancos.
