Vinicius celebrates Real Madrid's victory over Sevilla in an NFL game

Recently crowned The Best award winner, Vinicius Junior, was absent from Sunday’s match against Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu due to accumulation of cards.

In this way, and with the approval of his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, the Brazilian winger has chosen to disconnect from his usual football-centered life to cross the pond to the American continent and enjoy a few days in Miami, Florida.

In fact, on his first day in the US city, Vinicius was seen, as confirmed by the Miami Dolphins through their social networks, at the Hard Rock Stadium to witness a game of the major American football league, the NFL, which was held hours after the match of the white club. Even so, the Real Madrid player was attentive to what his teammates were doing in the clash against the Seville team.

Ancelotti wants his players rested

It was no coincidence that Vinicius was given permission by his coach to have a few extra days of vacation, as with such a long season ahead, Ancelotti wants to have his players in top form for the rest of the season.

And, the Italian coach has already been heard on more than one occasion to talk about the rest of his players during press conferences. Back in August, he suggested special holidays for mid-season. “The players need to rest, they need holidays, we are thinking of giving individual holidays to the players. A player can not play for a week and go and rest with his family, especially with the internationals, who have very little rest. Those do not have a day off. We are evaluating it with the medical team and physical preparation,” he said. So this mini break for the Brazilian star is surely very much in line with this.
