‘He’s so scared’: Fans react as Vinicius Jr suspended for Uruguay clash at Copa America

Already in the seventh minute of Brazil’s Copa America clash against Colombia, Vinicius Junior picked up a yellow card that rules him out of the quarter-final game against Uruguay.

Some fans have a clear explanation of why it happened.

💭 AwaaraHoon: “3D chess by Vinicius to avoid getting pocketed by Araujo 😭”

💭 Addi: “Lucky Vini skips the Araujo test, wouldn’t end good for him.”

💭 xtratime99: “Vini got owned by [Colombia’s] Munoz, don’t want to think what Araujo would have done to him.”

Ronald Araujo plays at right-back or as a right-sided centre-back for Uruguay, so he would’ve definitely faced Vinicius if the latter had been available.

Araujo has already faced Vinicius Jr 11 times in his career, emerging victorious on six occasions.
