There are many cases of players reacting to coaches, but Vinicius' choice of timing and language to put pressure shows a bigger problem: The transformation of roles, when the one being led wants to become the leader. During his playing years, Alonso was a role model, grasping the importance of discipline and self-respect in a top team. Now, when he switches to coaching, he faces the dark side of the new era, where many star players believe they have the right to "d govern" not only the game but also the future of a coaching staff.
This makes people remember Jose Mourinho - Alonso's former teacher. Mourinho once said that in modern football, the weakest person is sometimes the coach. He has been turned away by his students many times, from Chelsea, Manchester United to his current position at Benfica.
In the sports world, a group of players like Vinicius is often called black power. The existence of this group is like an endless culture, just a few people don't submit, the entire operating system can fail. If Alonso loses his real job, it is not only a coach's failure, but also a failure of values such as discipline, tradition, responsibility and respect for professional authority.
That story is easily associated with the recent case of a teacher who was fired just for using a rider to beat a student. Of course, school violence cannot be justified. But when everything is pushed forward in the direction that students can get whatever they want, adults cannot be wrong even in the context of difficult teaching, the educational boundary becomes more fragile than ever.
Coaches - in football or education - are always between two lines: Strict enough to keep discipline, soft enough to create consensus. Alonso's story is just a small piece, but it says a big lesson: Power without responsibility will become the most dangerous weapon in any group. Only when those who are guided know how to respect their limits, maturity - from a human perspective, not physical and age - is it real.
