Former Real Madrid GM Pedja Mijatovic has advised Vinicius Junior to control his on-field emotion at the club.
Speaking with Marca, Mijatovic, who described the Brazilian international as a brilliant player, however, urged him to change his behavior if he wants to remain at Real Madrid.
“Many people think I have something against Vinicius, quite the opposite. I think he’s an excellent footballer, who has always scored goals in important matches, even in Champions League finals, but it must also be said that his behaviour, the way he does some things, isn’t good.

“And that needs to be said. Because it doesn’t help anyone to tell him, ‘Don’t worry, it’s okay.’ Because he’s making mistakes. And I think he’s a fantastic footballer who needs to calm down a bit, his behaviour, and if he can’t do that, then reach an agreement.
“Renewing his contract or not is up to the club, but I believe that Real Madrid can’t tolerate any player who isn’t happy, and no player who isn’t happy at Real Madrid can perform well.
“So it’s very simple: either we continue fixing things or we separate and that’s fine. Many great footballers have left and Real Madrid has continued winning.”
