Xabi Alonso Defends Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior’s Reaction After Real Madrid’s Victory<\/h2>\n\nReal Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has defended Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior following the player’s reaction to being substituted during the match against Espanyol, where the merengue team won with a score of 2-0.\n\nVin\u00edcius was substituted in the 77th minute of the match at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, giving way to Rodrygo. The reaction of the Brazilian winger was evident, showing his discontent by throwing a water bottle and raising his arms, before having a conversation with the coaching staff.\n\n\n
\n\n

“Vini just lacked the goal today,” Alonso commented in the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n\nXabi Alonso<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe coach explained that the substitution was due to the need to refresh the team in that position. Furthermore, he mentioned that Franco, who was also substituted at the same time, reacted similarly.\n\nBrahim D\u00edaz was the player who came on for Franco.\n\n\n

\"Vinicius<\/figure>\n\n\nWhen questioned about Vin\u00edcius’ reaction, Alonso added: “It’s normal… In the end, it happens to everyone. I’m happy with the game Vini played, and the game Franco played too, sometimes you need fresh legs, and the schedule is demanding.”\n\nSo far this season, Vin\u00edcius has been a substitute twice in the six matches played by Madrid in all competitions.\n\nReal Madrid’s victory over Espanyol meant the fifth consecutive win in LaLiga, consolidating its position at the top of the table.\n\nThe match also marked the return of Jude Bellingham, who came on as a substitute in the final minutes, adding his first minutes of the season.\n\n\n
\n\n

“The more we find Bellingham, the better we will play,” Alonso stated.<\/p>\n\nXabi Alonso<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe coach highlighted the importance of having Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga as alternatives, pointing out that they are “two great players” and “good news” for the team.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
