The future of Vinicius Jr. at Real Madrid has been the subject of much debate in recent weeks. The player, who has recently been questioned about his performance in the league, his role in the team this season and his constant controversies, is currently the subject of incessant rumors about whether or not he will continue with the white team. First there was talk of exorbitant offers from Saudi Arabia. Offers that were silenced by a video in which the Brazilian said he wanted to succeed at Real Madrid. Now, when it is believed that his renewal is being negotiated, the name of PSG has emerged strongly. The truth is that the number 7 of the white team did not want to give any reassurance about whether he will continue to wear white.
Vinicius was the MVP of the night in Tuesday’s Champions League clash between Real Madrid and Manchester City, in which the Whites staged an epic comeback in the final minutes to win the game and once again prove their love for the competition. The Brazilian star spoke to Movistar at the end of the game. He did so with a big smile on his face, ignoring the reception with a huge banner that read “stop crying”. The message motivated the Brazilian: “I see it, I see the banner, but whenever the opposing fans do something, it gives me more strength to play a great game and I did that here. They know our history, everything we do in this competition. This is the fifth time we have come, it is always very cold, but this time we won and we have to continue in this way.
How did Vinicius see the match?
The number 7 gave a positive assessment of his performance. “It wasn’t bad, I was able to play a great game, we defended very well and it doesn’t matter who scores or who is the MVP, we are here to do great things for this shirt and take Madrid to the top,” said the Brazilian. Joy, yes, but no euphoria or taking anything for granted. “There is still a lot to play for in the second leg, we have to defend like we did today and have our fans with us to make it a magical night.
During the interview, he also wanted to address the thorny issue of bookings. The player had just come off suspension because the cycle of cards during the previous league was three and he saw them. Now he was aware that if he saw two, he would be punished again. On this subject, he was clear: “Sometimes it’s complicated, the referees don’t defend the player who takes the kicks, if they kick me, I get the yellow card. But the teammates, the coaches, they try to help me stay focused, I’m not a saint, but I still want to win.
His future
Another complicated issue he was asked about was his future: renewal, Saudi Arabia… “I don’t know anything either, nobody has spoken to me, I have to talk to the president and hopefully I can stay here for a long time, this competition gives us something more and I want to make history”.
