Real Madrid defeated Valencia 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu on Thursday night.
Goals from Marco Asensio and Vinicius Junior sealed the victory for the Los Blancos.
Vinicius was one of the best players on the pitch, and put in a very fine performance.
As expected, Vinicius was a target for the opposition, much to his annoyance.
Speaking after the game, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois spoke about the need to protect the Brazilian star.
“We have to protect Vini,” Courtois said, speaking post-match.
“He’s very expressive on the pitch, he takes players on and defenders don’t like that.”
“It’s his technique, his way of playing,” Courtois added.
“We need this Vinicius to open up defences, I think he’s been kicked a lot and today I’m glad that a referee was brave enough to send [Gabriel] off. The ball had gone, that has to be a sending off.”
Nice players
Thank you so much
Why do players have results to hurting others because they can’t control them I did play the game in my younger years never hurt anyone, I’m from Malaga Spain Real Madrid is my favorite team I’m sure Ramos would have defended all of his teammates I would have put the agresor in his place I think this nonsense have no place in the sport junior is better then most and has the right to play without being hit over and over .
