"I don't like to lie and I think it was Mumin who kicked him. I always try to be honest and when I saw it I said that he could blow the whistle but he couldn't. These are delicate plays and you have to be extremely careful with the VAR," explained Íñigo Pérez , Rayo coach, at the press conference.
Even the local club's coach admitted that the penalty on Vinícius Jr. in the second half should have been given. Abdul Mumin's leg blatantly collided with the Brazilian's, but Martínez Munuera decided not to give a signal .
Vinícius ' reaction was what everyone expected. The Brazilian, visibly angry, protested the decision to the referee. In fact, Jude Bellingham and Carlo Ancelotti also said after the match that it was indeed a penalty .

Two angers from Vinícius Jr. against Rayo Vallecano
In addition to the moment of the uncalled penalty, Vinícius also starred in another controversial moment. The player was fouled in the center of the field shortly after entering the field.
His reaction was to angrily protest to the referee, who had not shown the card to the Rayo player. In the end, the action ended with a card for Vinicíus, who will not be able to play against Sevilla FC due to suspension. Four of the five yellow cards he has received in LaLiga this season have been for protests.
Ancelotti, angry with the player's attitude
Normally, Carlo Ancelotti prefers to scold Vinícius behind closed doors. Against Rayo Vallecano it was no exception and the Italian had a few words with his star in the locker room.
Furthermore, Vinícius left another gesture when he left for the locker room where he addressed the Rayo Vallecano fans. Carlo Ancelotti, not happy with his behavior, acted like a father and privately scolded his pupil.

Once the year begins, Vini Jr. will have a real test before him: Mestalla . The player arrives clean for one of the most anticipated duels of the championship.
