On October 29, Real Madrid star Vinicius posted a post on social media, apologizing to Real Madrid fans, teammates, the club and the chairman for his controversial behavior in being substituted in the national derby.

Vinicius wrote on social media: "I would like to apologize to all Madrid fans for my reaction when I was substituted in the El Clasico. As I did personally in training today, I also want to apologize again to my teammates, the club and the president."

"Sometimes my enthusiasm makes me lose my mind; I always want to win. Li, eager to help my team. My competitiveness stems from my love for this club and everything it represents. I promise to fight for Real Madrid every moment as I have done since the first day."

It is worth noting that the Brazilian international, who is worth 150 million euros, did not mention coach Alonso in the article, let alone apologize.

Those closest to Vinicius explained that Alonso's omission from the apology message was intentional on Vinicius' part because he felt hurt by the coach's treatment of him.

Vinicius publicly challenged his coach, which also aroused strong dissatisfaction among Real Madrid fans: "Where is the apology to the coach? Because he is the first person you should apologize to.": "Respect your coach.": "I don't care that Alonso will not change players at will because of personal grudges. His time in office is too short for this to happen. Regardless of right or wrong, every decision he makes is for the team to win. What the team needs now is to work together." In the previous national derby, Vinicius, who started the game, was replaced by Alonso in the 71st minute. When he learned that he had been substituted, the Brazilian genius was furious. He spread his hands and complained all the way. When he came off the field, he ignored coach Alonso and walked straight back to the locker room. It wasn't until minutes later that he was persuaded to come back and sit on the bench again.

The tense relationship between Vinicius and the coach is undoubtedly a hidden threat in the Real Madrid locker room.
