The newspaper "Defensa Central" reported that Vinicius Junior asked Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, not to replace him during Saturday's Valencia match in La Liga.
The Brazil international managed to score two goals from the Real quintet, and he was hoping to score the third goal and mark his first hat-trick of the season, so he wanted to continue for the longest period on the field.
Vinicius went to the touchline where Ancelotti stood and told him: "Please don't mess with me, I'll score a hat-trick please leave me on the pitch."
But it seems that the talk of the 22 year old did not find a repulsion for the Italian coach, who decided to replace him in the 82nd minute and insert striker Joselu instead.
Ancelotti's argument for replacing Vinnie was clear: he wants to win applause from the Santiago Bernabeu fans, adding to his confidence in the difficult period that awaits Real after the international break.
In any case, Vinicius was not angered by Ancelotti's decision despite his desire to continue on the pitch, and after receiving the Santiago Bernabeu greeting he knew why the Italian coach preferred to take him out in this way.
Vinicius has made 12 appearances for Real Madrid this season in all competitions, scoring 4 goals and assisting like them.
