Kylian Mbappé may have big responsibilities on his back, Dean Huijsen, Franco Mastanuono, Alvaro Carreras or Trent Alexander-Arnold will surely want to prove their value; The player who will start the season with the most pressure on the shoulders on the Real Madrid side, is Vinicius Jr. After a rather mediocre season, the player trained in Flamengo knows that he must redo and display a much better face.
First, because Real Madrid needs it, but also to prove that he has nothing to envy to Kylian Mbappé, the new team leader, in the eyes of the staff and the Madrid management at least. Then there is the question of his contract. The number 7 Merengue, whose lease expires in 2027, wishes to be remunerated at the height of Kylian Mbappé and even above, and necessarily, it is not with the level of services displayed in recent months that he will convince his management to offer him the best salary of the club …
Vinicius JR already sends a message
As indicated ASthe player wants to forget this exercise 2024/2025 and intends to shine in the coming season. He wants to put out criticism about him and hit the orders of Xabi Alonso, and he puts the odds on his side to get there. Club sources explain to the Spanish media that it is a very motivated Vinicius JR that can be seen during these first summer training on the Madrid side.
Above all, it displays exceptional physical conditions. If the players logically used to return from their a little less fit vacation, it is quite the opposite for the Brazilian, who is more than affected. A way, too, to prove that he does not intend to be done in this “battle” with Kylian Mbappé and that he can be just as important as the tricolor attacker. Anyway, this is very good news for Xabi Alonso and for Real Madrid…
