😳 Vini Jr. argues with Simeone, who taunts him: Florentino will sack you | OneFootball

The atmosphere heated up after Vini Jr. was substituted during the Real vs. Atleti match this Thursday (8th) in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup.

The Real’s number 7 and Diego Simeone, coach of the Colchoneros, had an argument on the sidelines that ended with both being shown yellow cards. 

The "highlight" was the Argentine coach’s provocation towards the Brazilian, caught by the Spanish press.

At first, Simeone put his hand to his right ear and "asked" Vini to listen to the boos he was receiving as he left the field for Arda Güler to come on.

Next, Vini responded, and then came "Cholo’s" reply:

"Florentino (Real’s president) is going to fire you, listen to what I’m telling you."

After the match, Xabi Alonso, the Merengue coach, came to his player’s defense. This had already been seen during the altercation: 

"I heard what Simeone said to Vini and I didn’t like it. You can’t talk like that, there are things that cross the line."

The Brazilian forward even took a jab at Simeone in a post on Instagram.

Renewal is far off...

Vini has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2027 and, at the moment, a renewal is unlikely.

The trend is that the club will try to negotiate their number 7 at the end of the current season.

He is valued at 150 million euros according to the website Transfermarkt. 

The Brazilian has reached a streak of 16 consecutive games without scoring.

He’s played 26 matches this season and scored six goals. 

He will return to action on Sunday (11th), when Real will face Barcelona in the Super Cup final.
