Predrag Mijatovic supported Xabi Alonso in the situation with Vinicius Junior. The Real Madrid winger reacted sharply to being substituted in the 2-1 La Liga win over Barcelona and did not shake the head coach`s hand. The Brazilian later apologized but did not mention Alonso in the statement.
It was reported that Vinicius discussed the situation with the team and head coach at the first training session after the Clasico.
I don`t know who made this statement to Vinicius - perhaps he has people who are monitoring it - but he made a mistake, in my opinion. The fact that he did not mention the coach makes it clear that there is no special connection between them. This is always very dangerous for both the player and the coach.
Firstly, remain completely calm, knowing that the season continues and that you cannot spoil the atmosphere in a team that is leading the league prediction by live stream soccer and in which everyone has excellent relations. This atmosphere will not be destroyed because of one player, but the problem needs to be solved. Either demand that they sit down and talk, or take direct action. But everything needs to be discussed calmly within the team, without distributing too much information.
Xabi reacted brilliantly. This surprised me because he is a young and inexperienced coach, but despite his strong character, he responded well. This would not be so surprising in the case of Ancelotti or another more experienced coach. . . It worries me that a few days after winning the Clasico and leading Barca by five points, everyone is talking about Vinicius and his statement. I think it`s disproportionate.
Decisions and powers remain with the coach. Although the players are the protagonists and Vinicius gave us a lot of joy, his behavior, especially in the Clasico, which was watched by everyone, was unacceptable. No one can justify his actions, and his apology confirms that he was wrong. The club must always support the coach because there are other 20 players in the team. But above all, I think it is unnecessary that two days after the Clasico, Vinicius is the only one who is being discussed, " the former Real Madrid player and director said on the El Larguero podcast.
