Spanish journalist launches fierce attack on Real Madrid superstar – ‘A good player yet so stupid’ | OneFootball

In a stinging outburst, renowned journalist Jordi Evole has delivered a fierce rebuke of Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr., calling out the Brazilian’s behaviour on the pitch and questioning his future at the club.

Speaking on Cadena SER, Evole, known for his past role as el follonero, a provocative media character who thrived on creating controversy, took serious exception to Vinicius’ antics.

While the host of the programme jokingly compared Vinicius to Evole’s own mischievous alter ego, the journalist quickly dismissed the parallel.

“Don’t call him a follonero, please. I want no association with that nonsense,” Evole snapped, before launching into a harsh critique of the Real Madrid forward.

“I don’t understand how he can be such a good player and yet so stupid on the football field.”

He didn’t stop there. “I know so many Madridistas who are absolutely sick of him,” Evole added.

“Someone needs to pull him aside and tell him to cut the nonsense. Tito Floren is already tired of Vinicius and his behaviour.”

Evole even hinted that the 24-year-old may not have long left at the Santiago Bernabeu. “Vinicius has two news programmes left at Madrid,” he said metaphorically, suggesting that the club’s patience may be wearing thin.

This public dressing-down highlights the growing polarisation surrounding Vinicius Jr. Despite being one of Real Madrid’s brightest attacking talents, often unplayable on his day, his on-field theatrics and emotional outbursts continue to draw criticism.

While he has been praised for standing up against racism and showing passion, many fans and pundits, like Evole, believe his behaviour undermines his game and hurts the club’s image.

While Real Madrid’s focus, right now, is on winning the FIFA Club World Cup, it remains to be seen whether Florentino Perez and the club hierarchy will continue backing Vinicius unconditionally, or whether the noise around his conduct will start to influence decisions.
