Sports Weekly Full Media Report

Real Madrid beat Valencia 4-0. Vinicius, who performed well, missed a penalty kick in the 42nd minute. Although Real Madrid already led 2-0 at the time, Alonso on the sidelines seemed disappointed and unhappy with the Brazilian's missed penalty kick. Vinicius was very angry after being substituted in the El Clasico last weekend. Although he did not name him, the target was undoubtedly directed at the Real Madrid coaching staff. He later issued an apology statement on social media, and did not mention coach Alonso intentionally or unintentionally.

For the past week, Vinicius has been in the headlines of Real Madrid news, and his "discord" with Alonso has been hyped by the media. After missing a penalty kick against Valencia, reporters naturally criticized Alonso after the game. One reporter asked: "Mbappe wants to win the Golden Boot again, why did he give the penalty kick to Vinicius?" Alonso replied: "He (Mbappe) has already scored two, which allows him to continue to compete for the Golden Boot. The team's morale is very high, and the relationship between Mbappe and Vinicius is also very good."

Regarding Vinicius's missed penalty kick, Alonso further Explained: "Vini missed the penalty, which made me a little unhappy, especially when you almost see 3-0 in front of you. Originally the first penalty kicker was Kylian (Mbappe), but they decided to let Vinny take the penalty. Fortunately, Then Jude (Bellingham) scored. We designated the penalty taker, and Kilian was the first choice, but we can also decide flexibly according to the actual situation."

Do you like the players to decide who will take the penalty? Alonso said: "I especially like that they can score a penalty kick. That is always the best situation. Today Kilian scored the first one. I originally hoped that he could score the second one, but it is not a big deal. Kilian is still the team's first penalty kicker." Speaking of Vinicius, Alonso said : "He played a very good game today."

In the 79th minute of the game, Alonso once again replaced Vinicius with Rodrigo. The Cubs, who failed to score, did not show off their temper this time, and took the initiative to reach out and high-five Alonso when he came off the field. Real Madrid will face their powerful rival Liverpool in the Champions League next week. Vinicius scored the winning goal against Liverpool in the 2022 Champions League final. Real Madrid needs him to continue to be in the best physical and mental condition.
