For many, viniciusAt the moment, he is one of the 5 best soccer players in the world. In fact, there are those who maintain that the Brazilian end of the Real Madrid must finish in the honor roll of the Ballon d’Or 2022 of France Football.
But what does the Flamengo youth squad think regarding it? Nothing special. Let the fans and journalists think, he does not let himself be dizzy by the praise. The only thing he focuses on is to keep learning and improving.
His goal is not to deliver a glorious season or a couple of good records. What Vini wants is to stay in the absolute elite for a long time. And that is what distinguishes good footballers from great players.
DOES VINICIUS FEEL LIKE HE’S IN THE TOP 5 IN THE WORLD?
“I leave this for the people. I have a calm head. Of course I have to always be the best version of myself. And being in my best version, doing well at the club and with my teammates, I’m sure I’m going to do great things this season. I have to continue to stay at a good level, to do great things. Great players do it for a long time and I would like to do this for a long time.”
His intention is to never stop learning. Karim Benzema, his offensive partner, is the example that you can always continue to evolve: “I have to improve in everything. I continue to evolve and I want to continue doing so until the last day of my life. All the players teach me a lot. Playing with Karim and seeing that, at 34 years old, he continues to evolve gives me a plus to not stop growing. I have to continue with great enthusiasm and it is very difficult to do so at the best club in the world”.
Humility, class and emotional balance.
Nothing to add, sir.
Undefeated data. In the 2021/22 season, Vinicius recorded 22 goals and 16 assists in 52 games for Real Madrid. In this campaign, he already has 3 goals and 2 assists in 5 games. Switched on.
Did you know…? Vinicius Júnior was already two-time League champion, two-time Spanish Super Cup champion, Champions League champion, European Super Cup champion and Club World Cup champion with Real Madrid. He only lacks the Copa del Rey to make the plenary session.
