Mourinho defends Vinicius amid Bernabéu whistles

Since joining Real Madrid, Mourinho has made Vinicius one of his preferred targets, referencing an incident from February when the coach (then at Benfica) questioned the Brazilian's goal celebration methods in Lisbon. The Portuguese manager has emphasized that under his leadership, the situation is straightforward: Vinicius is now his player and deserves his public support. biznow.biz

While acknowledging that the winger can improve his relationship with opposing fans, Mourinho has stated that Vinicius suffers bullying from rivals and lack of protection from referees. This comes amid more than six months of whistles directed at Vinicius during matches at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
