In Madrid, we are only talking about them: Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappé, Duo of attack on Real, have already scored 53 goals together this season. However, a former key member of the Club Balances without detour: “One of them embodies the rarest evolution in the history of football. »» Involved: Vinicius would even surpass the Mbappé phenomenon.
Man behind these statements? Jorge Valdano, 1986 world champion and former Real coach. In an interview in AS, he praises Vinicius: “Critics towards him are unfair. He is the biggest creator of current danger. He marks, he assists, he makes the defenses tremble with each race. »» A plea that is worth supreme praise, while the Brazilian has transformed his game (21 goals into a liga) since its timid beginnings in Bernabéu.
Vinicius Jr has the favors of Jorge Valdano.
Valdano insists on the metamorphosis of Vinicius: “Learning to score is almost impossible. Did it. And even at the 118ᵉ minute, it springs for 40 meters. He's a titan. »» Qualities which, according to the Argentinian, make it ” essential “, Unlike other stars … A subtle message towards Mbappé, whose leader's role remains to consolidate.
Vinicius Jr, “a physical titan, a historical transformation”
Ironically, Mbappé himself recently defended his teammate. “I don't imagine Real without Vini. We play well together ”,
He assured the Sexta, contradicting rumors of competition. Proof that the Brazilian, dubbed by the legends and his pair, stands out as an undisputed pillar.
Without comparing the two players directly, Valdano places La Barre very high for French. By celebrating Vinicius as a
” wonder “ and a “Example of selflessness”he indirectly underlines what Mbappé must still prove: such a radical transformation, and such a total influence on the Madrid game. A major challenge for the ex-Parisian, who will have to convince beyond statistics.
