Alkorta Tells Vinicius to Be Careful with Perez in Contract Talks or End up Like Ramos
Former Real Madrid star Rafael Alkorta has cautioned Vinicius Jr. to tread carefully in his contract talks with club president Florentino Perez, warning that the Brazilian risks facing the same fate as Sergio Ramos.
Alkorta pointed out that Ramos, despite being a club legend, saw his contract offer withdrawn in 2023 after tense negotiations with Perez. He stressed that challenging the Madrid president in such matters is a dangerous path.
“Trying to push Florentino too far can backfire. We saw it with Ramos,” Alkorta said, adding that disputes of this kind are “poisonous” because Perez, while affectionate, never hesitates to make ruthless decisions when necessary.
The ex-defender also suggested that Vinicius has struggled to find his rhythm since being moved from his natural left-wing role to a central position under Carlo Ancelotti, a tactical shift made to accommodate Kylian Mbappe.
“Since leaving the left side, he hasn’t looked the same. Playing alongside Mbappe has taken its toll,” Alkorta remarked, urging the young forward to be cautious both on and off the pitch.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
