Franco Mastantuono, an 18-year-old Argentine player, recently settled in Madrid. He is adjusting to a team filled with stars, including Vinicius Junior, who has been in the spotlight. The Brazilian has faced some tension with Xabi Alonso, as their relationship hasn’t been smooth. During the latest Clasico, Vinicius expressed frustration when he was substituted. His anger led him to apologize to his teammates, the president, and the club a few days later. Mastantuono discussed this incident in an interview with Cadena SER.
“His reaction wasn’t the best choice… Vinícius apologized to Xabi Alonso and everyone else. The most important thing is for us to stay united… Vinicius is amazing. He often faces criticism but always brings joy to the locker room. Of course, he gets angry, just like the rest of us. His way of reacting wasn’t correct, and he acknowledges it. He knows he is vital to the team, being one of the captains. These things happen in football.” The matter is now resolved.
