Diego Simeone, the manager of Atlético Madrid, and Brazilian Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior were involved in several tense moments during Thursday's semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, which 'Los Merengues' won 2-1. In particular, 'El Cholo' approached the player, who was heading to speak with his coach Xabi Alonso, and threw a controversial phrase at him: 'Florentino (Pérez, Real Madrid's president) is going to fire you, remember that.' In response, Vinicius did not remain silent and went to confront the 'albiceleste' coach, but he was restrained by Alonso and other members of the 'white' squad. Ultimately, Real Madrid eliminated Atlético Madrid from the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup - they will now face Barcelona in the final - and the Brazilian left a spicy response on social media. 'Not everything is allowed, you have to respect your rival. Cholo said something, and that goes beyond the spirit you must have towards your teammates. I don't like them addressing my teammates like that. Nothing more to say,' he said. 'I have nothing to comment on. Everything that happens on the field has its limits.' 'What happens on the field, since we were little, stays there.'
