After the Club World Cup final, when a reporter tried to interview Vinicius Junior, he responded, 'I can't speak.'
This is as a result of Real Madrid's strategy to support the Brazilian amid the recent media controversies that have surrounded him. He should not spend too much time in the spotlight, according to the club.
Vinicius' goal celebrations and the way the rivals treated him on the field have drawn significant media attention. Real Madrid want the player to put all of the criticism behind him and concentrate on his game.
Vinicius finished the Club World Cup with 3 goals and an assist, and won the golden ball of the tournament.
