If you’ve seen the hit show “Ted Lasso” then you might remember the scene where Lasso, Roy Kent and the gang convince Jamie Tartt to be a prick and get on the other team’s nerves.
One player who excels at this in the real world is Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. Not only do Tartt and Vini have incredible footwork and finishing abilities, but they both know how to get under opponent’s skin.
During Real Madrid’s dramatic comeback victory vs. Bayern Munich on Wednesday the Brazilian had a little fun with Joshua Kimmich. With Los Blancos holding on to a one-goal advantage Vini Jr. used some of his best time wasting techniques.
Bayern has been using some of their best time-killing moves when they held onto a 1-0 lead. Vini Jr. thought it would only be appropriate to return the favor.

As the coaches said in the show… “Glad he’s on our team.”
Vini Jr. had been cooking Kimmich all game finishing with seven successful dribbles. The Real Madrid star was named man of the match.

“President Florentino Pérez, thanks for bringing me to the biggest club in the world”, Vini said. pic.twitter.com/otJh8VEcWp— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 8, 2024
