Last weekend's Madrid Derby ended with a heavy 2-5 defeat for Real Madrid against their city rivals Atletico Madrid. However, what caught the attention of fans was not only the score, but also the dramatic and interesting war of words between star Vinicius Junior and Atletico captain - Koke.

On the evening of September 29, lip reading experts from Movistar revealed the conversation between Vinicius and Koke during the tense match.

Specifically, Koke, as a leader, immediately used a "psychological warfare" to provoke his opponent. He made a challenging statement towards Vinicius when he said: "Mbappe is taking your position. Mbappe is definitely better."

Without hesitation, Vinicius immediately replied to Koke: "Yes, of course. But he plays with me, so it will help us increase our chances of winning."

Not only stopping at the direct exchange, Vinicius's annoyance towards Koke was even more clearly revealed. He turned to Le Normand - another Atletico Madrid player and expressed his anger:

"Every time I reply to Koke, he goes around complaining to the media. Every time."

This revelation shows that the relationship between Vinicius and Koke was not very harmonious in the previous clashes between the two in Madrid Derby matches.

However, what is remarkable is Vinicius' maturity. Instead of showing his hot-tempered personality like before, this time he kept a cool head and handled the situation skillfully and sharply with intelligent responses.

However, Vinicius and his teammates had a bad match when they had to accept a 2-5 defeat against their city rivals.
