Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has sparked widespread controversy over his behavior towards his Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, following the 1-0 defeat to Real Betis in the Spanish League.
This is Real Madrid's first loss in La Liga this season, after three consecutive victories.
Social media users circulated a video documenting the exciting moment, as Vinicius headed towards the tunnel exiting the stadium after the end of the match.
In the scene, Mourinho approached Vinicius to shake his hand and try to talk to him, but the Brazilian star shook his hand briefly and almost without looking at him, before continuing to walk quickly past his coach, without showing any desire to stop or listen to him.
These scenes brought back to the minds of fans the scenario of last season, and the crises that erupted when Vinicius showed disrespect towards his former coach Xabi Alonso, following the decision to substitute him in one of the matches.
The crisis worsened at that time, leading to Alonso's dismissal from his position mid-season.
As a result, Real Madrid had a disastrous season, as the club did not win any titles under coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who succeeded Alonso, before leaving the club at the end of last season.
A large segment of Real Madrid fans see a clear similarity in behavior, which has raised their fears of a repeat of the same crisis with the veteran Portuguese coach.
This development comes at an unexpected time, especially after the Spanish newspaper "Marca," which is close to Real Madrid, revealed that Mourinho was one of the main reasons for Vinicius' contract renewal with Real Madrid recently.
She indicated that the Portuguese coach held a private meeting with the Brazilian player, in which he encouraged him and assured him that he was one of the main pillars of the new project of the Royal Club.
Although the action may be interpreted as a fleeting reaction resulting from the player being affected by the bitterness of defeat, observers believe that this incident will shake Mourinho's confidence in the discipline of his star player.
It is not unlikely that Mourinho, who is known for his firmness, will resort to imposing a deterrent punishment (administrative or technical) by benching the Brazilian winger in the upcoming matches, in order to impose prestige and maintain the stability of the team's dressing room.
