Vinícius doesn't even want to see Mourinho at Real Madrid: he has already made a decision

Real Madrid achieved a hard-fought 0-1 against SL Benfica in the first European leg, but the result was pushed into the background. The main focus was on the clash between Vinícius Júnior and Gianluca Prestianni, a scene that ignited Estádio da Luz and stirred the subsequent conversation.

Vinícius assured the referee that he had received a racist insult, an accusation that created tension and stopped the match for several minutes. Beyond the sporting aspect, the atmosphere became unbearable. The Brazilian ended up being the absolute center of the debate.

The goal that decided the match was a truly spectacular strike. Vinícius took on his marker, broke away, and finished with authority. In the celebration he looked at the stands and made gestures that many interpreted as provocation. The crowd's reaction was immediate and the mood became even more heated.

Mourinho entra en escena

In the subsequent press conference, José Mourinho, always alert to media detail, revealed that he asked Vinícius directly about his way of celebrating. The Portuguese coach considered that the gesture could have added more tension to a night that was already charged in itself.

Mourinho's intervention was surprising because his name has been linked to the white bench for weeks. The possibility of his return to Real Madrid has begun to circulate in different sectors, especially in a context of technical uncertainty. However, inside the locker room the idea doesn't generate unanimity and that is where Vinícius's figure appears with specific weight.

Una postura firme dentro del vestuario

According to sources close to the white environment, Vinícius would not look favorably on Mourinho's arrival. The Brazilian believes that the current team works better under a less confrontational profile and fears that the Portuguese coach's return could reactivate internal tensions.

The winger is one of Real Madrid's offensive leaders. His influence in the group is not minor. With decisive goals in the Champions League, crucial performances in LaLiga, and a growing role in the locker room, his opinion counts.

Vinícius understands that the club's current moment requires stability. He believes that the group needs trust, continuity, and balanced emotional management. In his view, Mourinho represents a more intense and conflictive model.

Un debate que va más allá del banquillo

Mourinho's possible arrival is not only a tactical matter. It is also an issue of managing egos and internal dynamics. Real Madrid has always lived with strong personalities, but balance is key.

Vinícius has reportedly already conveyed his stance in private. It is not a public campaign, but it is a clear decision. The Brazilian doesn't want a change that, in his view, could alter the harmony of the locker room.
