Guest of the show Valdano University on Movistar+the Spaniard gave his opinion on the management of Vinicius Junior, often at the heart of controversies for his behavior on the pitch and his interactions with his coach. The former world number 1 insisted on the importance of dialogue.
“I think this can be resolved by talking, with the understanding of all parties. Obviously, Vini has to understand who the authority is, and respect the authority and the club, because that is part of what being a Real Madrid player is. »he assured straight away, before explaining that the attacker is already showing involvement. “He tries his hardest every day, and those things that sometimes come out of him that he doesn’t like can be corrected through dialogue and an awareness that certain behaviors need to improve. And the first one who should want to take this path of progression is him. » Nadal then went further by pointing out that Vinicius has already shown the desire to progress: “When I hear him speak in interviews, he often says he wants to improve in every aspect. He must therefore find strong allies, and I am convinced that Real Madrid have the right people to help him and that he himself has the right people around him to advise him. The basic principle is to want to do it. » For Nadal, the Merengues have the responsibility to protect Vinicius, whom he considers to be a true heritage of the club. The ex-tennis player underlines that the Madrid management knows how to manage these delicate situations, as evidenced by the return to the very high level of the Auriverde international.
