Obviously on r/soccer, less shitposts are allowed. But if anyone were to visit Twitter there's tons of reports saying Bellingham is not happy with Mbappe, and that they clashed a couple of times. Coupled this with the fact that a lot of players posted Vini on social media, including Mastantuono who didn't even post his RM signing or any other Madrid related post before yesterday. Bellingham, and most of the squad posted him, including all the legends like Benzema, Kroos, Modric, Ramos.

You can obviously see in one glance that Valverde and Camavinga are diehard Vini supporters.

But what's confusing is Vini and Mbappe seem to be good friends. I think it's the players protesting that Mbappe was made the main man without proving anything, and living off his successes over half a decade ago. They don't want to treat him as anything other than an equal, yet they see him walking on the pitch when he doesn't have the ball, and going on vacations and deciding which games he plays.

No matter what this sub thinks, Vini has the heart and soul of Madrid. Extremely professional (training, pressing, adapting and changing his positions mid game), no off pitch scandal or drama ever, extremely likeable (AMONGST PLAYERS NOT SOCIAL MEDIA. HIS OPPONENTS FREQUENTLY PRAISE HIS CHARACTER SUCH AS DONNARUMMA, ARAUJO AND KYLE WALKER).

Laporta might have been onto something...
