Video shows the treatment Vini Jr receives as LaLiga's most fouled player

Vinícius Júnior has become one of the most skillful players on the planet and he’s getting punished for it.

His quick feet, speed and Brazilian genes have turned him into a player that can provide both goals and assists when needed. Heading into the World Cup, Vini Jr is perhaps the most exciting debutant talent to see at the tournament, and he's leading a hungry and promising Brazil attack alongside Neymar.

He’s a problem… that’s dealt with by constant fouling.

Compilation video of Vini Jr getting hacked

Real Madrid’s last two league games saw los Blancos drop points and concede the top of the table to Barcelona.

A loss to Rayo Vallecano at Vallecas and a heavily fought for home victory against Cadíz had the Galácticos suffering, especially Vini Jr.

When you play against a skillful player, you're taught to either “let the ball pass or the player, but never both.”

This is, in fact, a lot of LaLiga defenders’ favorite saying and they’re executing it perfectly against Real’s No. 20.

I’ll have a dollar for every time Vini gets fouled, please.

"Vinícius needs to be protected." -Real Madrid

The Brazilian is getting fouled so often that it's become a growing concern for the club. Real Madrid believes "he should be protected more."

The 21-year-old winger is LaLiga's most fouled player per 90 minutes, receiving 4.9 fouls a game.

Being talented comes with a price in Spain.

Now, for the young Brazilian’s sake, we hope we have compilations of him shredding the pitches of Qatar rather than of him getting brutally fouled every five minutes.
