Vinicius caused controversy in last Sunday's El Clasico when he gestured and complained loudly when he was substituted in the 74th minute. Famous player Canizares expressed his views in an interview.

In the second half of El Clasico, TV cameras captured the Brazilian player repeatedly saying "I want to leave the team, I want to leave, I want to leave..." as he walked to the locker room tunnel, clearly angry at Xavi Alonso's decision.

On Wednesday, three days after the incident, he issued a brief statement on social media to apologize: "Today I would like to apologize to all Real Madrid fans for my reaction when I was substituted in the El Clasico. Just as I apologized in person during training today, I also want to apologize again to my teammates, the club and the president."

"Sometimes Passion will prevail, driven by the desire to win and help the team. My competitive nature is rooted in my love for this club and everything it represents, as I have done since day one. Xavi Alonso was never mentioned in this apology. According to Melchor Ruiz, it was Vinicius himself who summoned his teammates in the locker room to apologize in person.

COPE Radio's "El Partidazo" program analyzed the current situation of Vinicius in the Real Madrid locker room and discussed the penalties that the Brazilian player may face.

Former player Santiago Canizares made it clear: "Xavi Alonso does not want the team to experience the kind of situation that may be brought about by Mourinho or Luis Enrique. "

He further stated: "Alonso is fully aware of the situation and actively avoids media noise - this is the most harmful to the team. What the team needs is a calm working environment. , This needs to be achieved through good results and reduction of disturbances. "

Canizares concluded: "Alonso will stick to his decision. Vinicius will not get any favoritism from Xavi Alonso after this incident, but the coach will never take radical measures. I think he chose this path wisely, because Real Madrid is a team that attracts much media attention. "
