Former Atletico Madrid midfielder Fernandez Gabi criticized Real Madrid striker Vinicius after the 2-1 win over Barcelona in the 10th round of the Spanish league.
"He tests the spirit of everyone around him every day. I expected that. The coach has to act. What I hate most in football players is gestures and demonstrative facial expressions. When your spirit is tested in public... Do whatever you want, behind closed doors, no problem. But not in front of everyone. What would I do after the Clasico? After the game, you have to talk to him immediately. You can't just leave it, let him make a statement, apologizing to everyone except the coach. It's unacceptable and selfish."
"This is just accumulating. He feels more and more important and does things that, in my opinion, are unacceptable. He criticizes his teammates, the coach, the whole country, calling us all racists... What the hell is going on? This is the wrong way. It is very difficult to win with dignity. Sometimes success hits you in the head and you start behaving inappropriately. No one can put themselves above the team. A player who thinks he is above everyone is a problem... If you are not Messi, who can win games alone," Gabi was quoted as saying by Marca.
Recall that in the 10th round of the Spanish La Liga, in the match against Barcelona (2:1), after being substituted in the 72nd minute, Vinicius complained about Alonso and headed to the dugout.
