Real Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre insists Vinicius Jr gave as good as he received on Sunday.
Real Mallorca defeated Real Madrid 1-0, with Vinicius Jr at the heart of several controversies on the day.
Aguirre later said, “I spoke personally with Raíllo and Maffeo and I asked them to be smart, not to provoke and not go in for a rag. That if they made a tunnel or a dribble they should not kick or punch them, that they would not be expelled. They could be sent off perfectly because of what had been generated before the game.
“The referee is there to control the momentum and ensure that the regulations are complied with. I don't know if they got caught or not, I haven't seen any scene from the game, now I'm not in a position to watch or analyse it. Tomorrow I will see it calmly and I will be able to make a judgment, say if they were violent, they went too far, etc. I'm pretty objective.
“They told me that there were not very professional gestures from my players towards Vinicius, I do not approve of them. I don't like it under any circumstances, I like to be humble in victory and defeat. When I have lost and they have danced or made fun of me, I have not liked it. If my players made a mistake, I am the first to admit it and call attention to it, because it is not right. When I win, I want a noble, respectful and ethical attitude.
“I have seen Vinicius ask for yellow cards, dance, stick out his tongue, cheer on the stands... Of course, I don't like my players to do it or my rivals to do it. I feel it as a lack of respect for the rival. But I'm very old, maybe this is very fashionable. I have other codes."
