Instead of wowing the crowd, it turned into a viral moment online, with fans mocking the 24-year-old and questioning whether he still deserves a place at a club like Real Madrid. Some even said he doesn\u2019t look like a professional footballer anymore.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"987\">Vinicius, once one of Europe\u2019s most feared wingers, has been struggling to find consistent form lately. This failed trick has only added more fuel to the ongoing criticism. While he did contribute to the win, his recent performances haven\u2019t lived up to the standard he set in past seasons.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1267\">Despite the backlash, Madrid manager Xabi Alonso defended his player. \u201cHe\u2019s fine, but we all want to push him to be decisive, as he has been on many occasions,\u201d Alonso said, adding that Vinicius\u2019s unpredictable style is what makes him special; he just needs to reconnect with it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1601\">But fans weren\u2019t as kind. One user brutally commented, \u201cForget Ballon d\u2019Or level. Forget Superstar level. Forget Real Madrid level. Dude looks like he shouldn\u2019t be playing professional football.\u201d Another added, \u201cThis is the 19th time Vinicius is trying a rainbow flick and has failed all. Someone tell Vini Jr to try some other skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1892\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Real Madrid\u2019s tournament hopes now rest on their next game against Salzburg. If they lose and Al-Hilal wins, Madrid will be knocked out, despite entering as one of the favourites to lift the trophy. All eyes will be on Vinicius to see if he can silence the critics and step up when it counts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vinicius Jr. may have helped Real Madrid secure a 3-1 win over Pachuca in the Club World Cup, but the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":76957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[184],"tags":[29833],"class_list":["post-76956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soccer","tag-vinicius-jr"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
