It is now being reported that Vinicius isn't happy about his life at Real Madrid, especially with Alonso at the helm of things. Vinicius, who came at a touching distance of winning the prestigious Ballon d'Or, is considering leaving Real Madrid as reported by AS. Alonso later admitted to the fact that he could've removed Vinicius a bit later, but he needed fresh legs to control the game in a better manner.

Alonso also defended Vinicius and said that he was more concerned about the positive things that were done by the player in the El Clasico game. 'I could have waited a bit to replace him, but I understood that we needed fresh players to maintain control. Vinicius wanted to stay on because he was feeling good,' said Alonso after the game.
