Carlos Vinícius was a topic of conversation in Brazil. The former forward of Benfica ended up being the protagonist of a video where he did not hold back in his criticism of the refereeing in the match between Grêmio and Vasco da Gama. The incident occurred during halftime, as the players were heading to the locker rooms.

Back in Brazil, where he has been highlighted for his goal-scoring prowess, the striker was not at all happy with the referee's performance, considering that this type of behavior was becoming repetitive in many of the games Grêmio has been playing.

In the footage that quickly spread across social media, you can hear the former Benfica player uttering some less than kind words. "F... hell, it's always the same s...", Carlos Vinícius began to say in the tunnel leading to Grêmio's locker room.

"In every game, it's refereeing all over the place... F... That's why the damn championship doesn't improve", the visibly frustrated striker finally exclaimed. At halftime, the two teams were tied at zero, and the deadlock would only be broken in the second half.
