I Didn’t Like What Diego Simeone Said To Vinicius Jr – Alonso

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has blasted Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone for his treatment of Vinicius Jr during their Supercopa de Espana clash. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he always tries to be very respectful to opposition players throughout the match, so he doesn’t understand why Simeone would stoop so low to annoy Vini.

Alonso added that what the Argentine manager did is a terrible example of sportsmanship.

His words, “I didn’t like the moment. Cholo said something to him, and those things go against the spirit you should have for your team-mates. I don’t like it when team-mates are spoken to like that. Not everything is acceptable… I spoke with Vinicius and it’s staying between us.

I try to be respectful to the opposing team’s players and I don’t usually speak to them. When I saw what he said, I liked it even less. That’s not a good example of sportsmanship. Not everything goes; you have to respect your opponent. Everything that happens on the field has its limits.

You can’t talk like that. Some things cross the line.”

WOW.

Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.

Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.

It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.

Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
