Real Madrid defeated Valencia 4-0. Vinicius, who performed well, missed a penalty kick in the 42nd minute. Although Real Madrid was already leading 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.

In Real Madrid's 4-0 victory over Valencia early this morning, in the 43rd minute of the first half, A fee fell to the ground in the penalty area to create a penalty. Vinicius took the ball from the hands of the team's top penalty taker Mbappe, and then took the penalty kick and was saved by Valencia goalkeeper Aguirre Zabala.

"Marca" stated that Vinicius insisted on taking the penalty kick made by full-back Carreras. He obviously did not consider that this might deprive Mba of the opportunity to wear the hat, and the good-tempered Mbappe chose to remain silent. Perhaps Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso should have intervened to seek justice, but in order to avoid further trouble for the rebellious genius, the coach ultimately remained silent.

According to data from the German Transfer Market Network, Vinicius has taken 14 penalty kicks so far in his career, missing 5 of them and hitting 9, with a hit rate of only 64.29%.

During his time at the club, Vinicius took 11 penalty kicks and only hit 7 of them; at the national team level, he took 3 penalty kicks and hit 2 of them.

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 blamed Alonso after the game. One reporter asked: "Mbappe wants to win the Golden Boot again, why does he give up the penalty kick to Vinicius?" Alonso replied: "He (Mbappe) has already scored two, so he can continue to compete. Golden Boot. The morale of the team is very high, and the relationship between Mbappe and Vinicius is also very good."

In the 79th minute of the game, Alonso replaced Vinicius with Rodrigo again. The Cubs, who failed to score, did not show any temper this time and took the initiative to give Alonso a high-five 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.
