Former Valencia manager, Quique Sanchez Flores, has criticized Real Madrid winger, Vinicius Junior, saying the Brazilian’s conduct during last Sunday’s El Clasico win is tarnishing the club’s reputation.
Speaking in an interview with El Partidazo de Cope, Flores said Vinicius should face disciplinary action for his reaction toward manager Xabi Alonso after being substituted against Barcelona.
“The Vinicius case is a cross-cutting one, which reaches the Real Madrid management primarily because of image.
“Vinicius is damaging the club’s image in front of millions of people, and it’s clear the club must take action. In this specific case, we’re talking about Vinicius’s disrespect towards a teammate who comes in and shares everything with you all day long during training.
“I believe this affects the players. It’s something the captain and the team must resolve together.”
Flores stressed that maintaining discipline and respect within the squad is crucial for a club of Real Madrid’s stature.
