After Real Madrid’s great victory against Atlético in the derby, Vinicius, author of a double, did not want to reap all the flowers of this precious success. “I’m really happy with the match we played. We dominated from the start, but we conceded a goal. But… we are progressing, we are working hard for matches like this. So that the Madrid supporters can go home very happy today, with this victory and these goals. So they can really enjoy it. Because it’s a derby and Real Madrid always wins. The credit goes to everyone: the coach, the players and the supporters. To all the work accomplished during the week. We went to Manchester, we won and we defended well. And then, here, we had a very clear game plan from the start. And that’s what made all the difference“.
Furthermore, the Brazilian did not hide his happiness at having scored a nice double. “I’m really happy. I worked all season for matches like this. And when that time of year comes… I don’t know what I have, but I’m always improving. I score and I make assists. That’s what we’re here for, us players. The president always tells me that I have to score two goals, and today I scored two, for him. It’s a shame… isn’t it? The best thing would have been to continue our momentum, not to stop, because we are on a good path. But we are leaving with the national selections… I hope everyone returns without injury. Because the most important period of the season is approaching“. Time for a break before getting back to work in the Spanish capital. Big deadlines are coming to Casa Blanca.
