Madrid, Spain – Na wah o! Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen don come out to defend im padi Vinicius Jr, as di guy don dey face plenty yawa from media and fans. E talk am clear on Radio MARCA say people dey too hard on Vini, and no be so e suppose be.
“Vinicius na incredible guy, very good boy,” Huijsen yan. “E dey shine for field, but any small thing wey e do, all of una go dey criticise am. You people dey boku dey criticise am, and sometimes, e no make sense.” (Abi na dem wan make am play like computer robot?)
Dean don observe say camera dey always follow Vinicius like say dem don tie am. “All di cameras dey on im,” e continue. “If you dey catch person for 90 minutes, you go surely see wetin no go make sense. If you focus on me, or Militão, or Asensio, you self go see wetin fit cause wahala.” (Omo, if person dey follow me like dat, dem for don catch me slip too!)
As Vinicius dey prepare to face Senegal and Tunisia for Brazil, Huijsen dey prepare for Spain match against Georgia and Turkey. E sure say Vinicius go show dem pepper, despite all di palava wey dey surround am.
So, as dem dey drag Vinicius for ground, no forget say na real human being e be o. Huijsen don remind us say we fit no dey too harsh on our sports stars. Make we sabi say dem dey feel di pressure too, and everybody go like make dem dey respected no matter wetin.
Dis na just one example of how athletes go dey face undue pressure wey no make sense. Hope say people fit reason well and give Vinicius some space to breathe.
