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 English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
