After his impressive performance in El Clasico, the young Brazilian star received a lot of praise. He confidently demonstrated his strong personality and impressive skills in front of nearly 90,000 spectators at the Camp Nou and exhausted Barcelona's defenders with his speed and dribbling. Vinicius Junior also participated in the counter-attack that ended in scoring a beautiful goal against goalkeeper Ter Stegen with a smart pass to Rodrigo, who passed to David Alaba.
Vinicius Junior arrived in Madrid when he was 18 years old and everyone talked about his high skills, but he had a big problem of wasting a lot of chances to score goals.
However, isn't wasting a lot of goals a sign of something?
Of course, it is true that wasting opportunities is a bad thing, but despite that, it shows two positive things:
First, the player is excellent at penetrating defense and getting into the opponent's goal.
Secondly, he is also good at positioning so that the ball reaches him in dangerous places for the opponent.
With these two attributes of the player, he still has to improve his finishing and goal-scoring, and that seems to have been achieved this season. Vinicius Junior this season has played 12 matches so far, scored 7 goals and assisted 3 goals, in addition to his wonderful performance. These numbers show a clear development from his previous seasons with Real Madrid.
Previously, Vinicius Jr. was subjected to a lot of criticism and even ridicule. But he endured these pressures and did not give up, and he followed a strict system of nutrition and training in cooperation with a number of specialists in order to improve and develop his abilities on the field.
For me, I see that Vinicius Junior has a strong personality and mentality that loves to win and does not accept to give up, and this is one of the most important elements that a player must have in order to succeed at Real Madrid, and as long as he improves in the final touch and scores goals, he is on the right path. Until he becomes one of the legends of the Royal Club, especially since he is young and has a lot of room for development, and most importantly, he enjoys the love and support of the Real Madrid fans and the confidence of the administration.
