Vinicius Jr says sorry – level 1

06-11-2025 07:00

Vinicius Jr is a football player. He says sorry for being angry in a big match called El Clásico. But he does not talk about his coach, Xabi Alonso.

Vinicius leaves the field when another player replaces him. Real Madrid wins 2-1. Vinicius tells fans, friends in the team, and the club boss that he is sorry. He loves the team and wants to help. Sometimes he feels very strong and wants to win, so he gets angry. He promises to try his best every time he plays.

The story shows that football players can feel very strong feelings in important matches.

Difficult words: match (a sports game), replace (to take somebody’s place), promise (to say you will do something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What reasons did Vinicius Jr give for getting angry during El Clásico?
