REVEALED: Real Madrid hold crunch talks with Vini Jr after Mallorca controversy

Real Madrid management have held talks with Vinicius Jr about his on-field behaviour.

After the controversy around defeat at Real Mallorca on Sunday, Vinicius has now been pulled aside by directors to discuss provocations.

That's according to Okdiario's Eduardo Inda, who said on El Chiringuito: "Vinicius has been given a new touch and this is serious. He has been told verbatim that he be quiet on the pitch and that he not fall for provocations.

"Also that the club will be in charge of defending him before the referees' body and in the media so that it can be seen that what they are doing to him is a hunt.

"(Mallorca) Javier Aguirre's strategy was to provoke the player. The (Antonio) Raíllo thing was not something that occurred in his mind, he was prepared and Vinicius fell like a pigeon.

"At the club they are worried as they know that there is a media manhunt and the refereeing establishment is not doing enough either."
