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 Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
