Vinicius' Red Card: A Chance for Madrid to Calm Vitriol

Graham Hunter discusses Vinicius' red card and argues that Real Madrid should use it as an opportunity to calm the vitriol surrounding the player.

Vinicius' sending-off against Valencia was a fairly unremarkable moment, but the manner in which it was covered must be scrutinized. Madrid are appealing the red card and Ancelotti has argued it should only have been a booking. The Brazilian's disciplinary problem is dwarfed by his talent, but the club are partly to blame. The media's portrayal of Vinicius as immature and overly sensitive is unfair, and his two red cards have been for reacting to provocation. Madrid should use this incident as an opportunity to calm the vitriol and focus on his brilliance on the pitch.
