Real Madrid will watch the final stages of the Champions League on TV after being knocked out by Bayern in the quarter-finals. The Spaniards lost 6-4 on aggregate but had qualification within reach, squandered by Vinicius’ misses and Camavinga’s dismissal.
The two were taken into the crosshairs by the former scout of Real, Manolo Romero, who worked for 20 years at the Madrid club. The Brazilian was the main target, with the former official describing him as mentally challenged and lacking brains.
“How many shows have we spent talking about the fact that they need to work on finishing, that they need to work on their mentality? I can see that Vinicius’ brain is not working. This needs to be worked on. This is the reality. First, we have to bring in players who have brains. I’m sick of brainless players wearing the most famous shirt in football history.
“What grades did Vinicius and Camavinga get at school?”
When I was at Espanyol, we used to check the kids’ grades. I want to see, what grades did Vinicius have in history and geography? Or what grade did Camavinga have (no the midfielder got red, at which point the game in Munich was interrupted) in mathematics? To be clear, I’m talking about football intelligence. About the fact that they don’t have the modesty to work on the things they still have to work on. Vinicius does not have the modesty to admit that he is pathetic at the finish”said Manolo Romero in the Iberian press.
