Why Vinicius said 'I can't speak' after Club World Cup final explained

Vinicius Junior said 'I can't speak' when a journalist tried to ask him questions after the Club World Cup final.

This is because of Real Madrid's plan to defend the Brazilian amid the media controversy that has surrounded him during the past few weeks. The club don't want him to be under the lights for some time.

The opposition's on-the-pitch treatment of Vinicius, as well as his goal celebrations have become a big topic for the media. Real Madrid want the player to focus on football and forget about all the criticism.

Vinicius Junior has finished the Club World Cup campaign with 3 goals and an assist.
