Vinicius's gesture sets off alarms at Real Madrid: they've requested...

Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso will have a "final" early this morning at Lincoln Financial Field, the venue where they'll face RB Salzburg.

The man from Tolosa, aware of what's at stake, doesn't want any distractions and even less noise among Madridists.

However, everything Real Madrid and its footballers do is observed in greater detail, something that's become evident again with Vinicius Jr., which is being used by anti-Madridists and Barça fans.

The Brazilian is once again in the eye of the storm, a situation that's not surprising, since everything he does, on or off the field, is commented on.

"I don't think he needs to be recovered, I see him well. But we all want to push so he can be decisive, as he's been so many times. He's so different because of how unpredictable he can become. When he can connect with his essence," Xabi Alonso himself recently said, convinced that the Carioca will raise his level and show his best version in 2025-2026, the one that made him a favorite in the last Ballon d'Or edition, although Rodri ended up winning it.

Controversy over his Instagram 

The "problem" Real Madrid has had with Vinicius Jr., which seems more like something from anti-Madridists, is due to his change on his Instagram profile.

The Carioca "removed" the white club from his account, which caused a lot of media noise, something Josep Pedrerol spoke about.

The host of El Chiringuito de Jugones stated that "Real Madrid has asked Vinicius Jr.'s entourage about his changes on Instagram and they've been told it's due to his communications agency."

These words make sense, since footballers get help with their social media profiles, so Madridists didn't give it much importance.

At Bernabéu, what they want is for Vini to focus on playing and showing all his talent, especially because they're convinced that with him they're much stronger.
