«Real Madrid» forward Vinicius Junior was once again the center of attention during the match against «Mallorka» in the 30th round of the Spanish championship. The Brazilian star faced intense pressure from the home fans after coming off the bench in the 59th minute of the game. Goal.com reports on this.
During the match, the old rivalry between Vinicius and «Mallorka» defender Pablo Mafio was reignited. The players engaged in mutual verbal and physical confrontations.
In an attempt to provoke his opponent, Mafio made references to "beach football," seeking to disparage the Brazilian's skills.
Fans in Spanish stadiums have been using the phrase "beach ball" toward Vinicius to remind him of losing the "Golden Ball" to «Man Siti» midfielder Rodri. Such chants have become a method of exerting psychological pressure on the player.
The conflict between Mafio and Vinicius has been ongoing since the 2022-23 season. Previously, Mafio had called the Brazilian footballer a "crybaby" for his frequent complaints.
The defender even stated that if he were to face Vinicius in a potential boxing match, he would defeat him within 10 seconds.
