Real Madrid barely managed to secure a victory against Legan\u00e8s in the Copa del Rey this Wednesday. In this tense match, Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior engaged in a heated exchange towards the end. Although the incident wasn\u2019t shown live on television, Cadena SER has provided insight into what occurred.<\/p>\n
This result may not sit well with the Madrid supporters. On Wednesday evening, playing away at Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s side struggled significantly in their Copa del Rey quarter-final match. The defense was greatly weakened by the absences of David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Lucas Vazquez\u2014who faced a last-minute issue before the Legan\u00e8s game\u2014leaving Real Madrid to depend on young players like Jacobo Ramon (who had a dull performance) and Raul Asensio. In this game, where the collective effort of all players was required, Vinicius\u2019 actions had a negative impact.<\/p>\n

As reported by Marca and Cadena SER, the tension began in the final five minutes of regular time. Legan\u00e8s had possession of the ball and launched a counter-attack that led to a corner. Luka Modri\u0107 then turned to Vin\u00edcius and asked him to track back and help out defensively. Vin\u00edcius, who had come on during the second half, did not take kindly to this request and responded to his captain, prompting Modri\u0107 to raise his voice and scold him publicly.<\/p>\n
On the sidelines, Carlo Ancelotti immediately expressed his disapproval of Vinicius\u2019 reaction, urging him to show respect for the veteran Madrid player, who will soon be 40, had scored the opening goal of the match, and continued to push forward to help defensively as the game entered stoppage time. According to Marca\u2019s sources, Luka Modri\u0107 was repeatedly frustrated by Vin\u00edcius\u2019 lack of defensive contribution.<\/p>\n

On two occasions, the Croatian captain asked Vin\u00edcius to track back, but the Brazilian ignored him. On the third occasion, when Modri\u0107 once again asked him to do so, Vin\u00edcius responded with a gesture, seemingly saying, \u201cWhat do you want from me?\u201d. At this point, Modri\u0107, completely exasperated by the behavior of a player who was expected to lead the team, shouted, \u201cGo to hell,\u201d as confirmed by Cadena SER.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
