Vinicius Calls for More Protection for Star Attackers After Four-Match Ban
Vinicius Junior has called on referees to offer greater protection to creative attackers after receiving a four-match suspension. The Real Madrid forward said defenders are often allowed to foul attacking players repeatedly, while the attackers are punished for reacting. He named Lamine Yamal and Julián Álvarez as players who should also receive stronger protection. Vinicius was sent off against Villarreal after pulling Nathan Saliba’s hair during the build-up to a disallowed goal. The ban, which also covers his protests, will rule him out of Real Madrid’s upcoming El Clásico against Barcelona. The Brazilian has had a difficult start to the season and has again raised concerns about heavy challenges and inconsistent refereeing in La Liga.
