Just turned 21, Vinicius begins to have veteran numbers. In the early hours of Thursday, with the Brazilian team, he sum his match 201 as a pro. With Real Madrid he already exceeds 100 by far (121), being the fourth youngest player in history to add 100 games with the white jersey. I did it in February, with 20 years, seven months and 17 days. Only
have overcome myths like
Ral, Camacho and Casillas,
which speaks of the weight that this footballer can have in the history of Real Madrid if he continues with his football evolution and ends up making a hole in the team. The start of the season could not have been more hopeful for Vinicius, who started his fourth season in white with the obligation to break down the door. The more than 200 games that he has behind him (121 with Madrid, 69 with Flamengo, 6 with Brazil and 5 with Castilla) are beginning to give the necessary ground to a player who
has all the conditions to succeed in a big way
in the world of football, but which pressure from Real Madrid has threatened to sink at some point. If his football has sometimes not lived up to what is expected of him,
I know that his head has been, that he has withstood all kinds of attacks,
unfair comparisons and rumors. Vini has moved on and that makes him face the road to 300 games in the best moment of his career.
Common in the calls of Brazil,
but without just accumulating many minutes,
Tite placed him in the starting eleven against Chile, with the 7 behind him.
His good start, with a successful scorer, under Ancelotti’s command, has also given him a boost with the Brazilian team, the most demanding national team in the world. Vinicius could not have more pressure, he does not wrinkle despite wearing the two most powerful and heaviest shirts on the planet football.
Sure to succeed
Vinicius is convinced that this season will be his.
With three goals in three games, he is the team’s top scorer
and has advanced to Eden Hazard in the preferences of Ancelotti to enter the eleven. At least in the last game. Against Betis, Vini started for a Hazard who was off when he came out, quite the opposite of the Brazilian, who right now is fire.
It is more difficult for him to repeat in the eleven against Celta,
since he will not arrive in Madrid until Friday morning, but Vini wants to be in the eleven against Inter Milan, at the Champions League premiere on the 15th. Because Vini knows that this season has to be his season. Without Mbapp, he has the highway ahead to pick up speed in Madrid and secure a place for the next course. Because with the French in the sights of Madrid, it is likely that the white club will seek to make room in the squad. And oh, Vini knows she has to win the fight with Hazard. With a contract until 2024,
He also fights to enter the wheel of renewals and earn a token raise that has been practically frozen since he arrived at Madrid in 2018
. He is the fourth player on the squad who earns the least.
