In a jostled Real Madrid, eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal and distant in Liga, Vinicius Junior had a year far from its standards. Wounds, irregularity, criticism of his performances … The Brazilian saw his influence decline, despite some lightning. However, this weekend, the winger crossed a symbolic milestone with a 200th victory under the Madrid colors. A strong figure, accompanied by an even more striking message.
Asked about this important bar, Vinicius surprised by his intact ambition. “I want to continue writing the story. I hope to become one of the greatest in this club,” he launched. A strong, almost unexpected speech, with regard to recurring criticism this season. But the 24 -year -old has no doubt:
“I have reached this level thanks to work, sacrifices, and using everyone here – coaches, players, managers.”
Vinicius JR in CR7 mode: “I will be the best, it's sworn”
Arrived very young at Real Madrid, Vinicius also spoke of his ability to collect the pressure. “When you sign in such a huge club at 18, you have to learn quickly. Today, I’m 24 years old and I have lived almost everything here.” For him, this maturity acquired in the field and outside prepares him to write a new page. “I want to stay a long time and win everything you can with this jersey.” A response disguised to those who announce it insistently elsewhere.
Vinicius JR, a Renaissance still possible?
While Madrid is looking for a second collective breath, Vinicius wants to embody the rebound. If he manages to regain his best level, his promise could well become reality. “The most important thing is to continue winning. This is what will make us legends,” He added, obviously more determined than ever to win over time.
With his 200 successes on the clock, Vinicius is no longer a hope: he is a framework. But he knows that in Real, only the titles forge legends. He has already won a few United States but in this club alone the present and the future count. If he really wants to “enter history”, as he proclaims, the coming months will be decisive. It's up to him to lie in those who see him in him a shooting star.
