Temporary coach of Madrid's "Real" Santiago Solari definitely pleased at least one player with his arrival to the first team - that player is the young Vinicius Junior.
The 18-year-old Brazilian this season found himself between the first and second team under Julen Lopetegui. S. Solari knows the Brazilian's potential, as he played five matches in the ranks of "Castilla" and scored four goals.
Vinicius performed well in both of the last two main team matches - against "Melilla" in the King's Cup, and against "Real Valladolid". In these matches, he made three assists that resulted in goals.
It is expected that tonight Vinicius will have the opportunity to debut in the UEFA Champions League. Madrid's "Real" team faces a match against Plzen's "Viktoria".
Before the match, at a press conference, S. Solari was asked to comment on Vinicius' progress: "I want Vinicius to feel like a full-fledged main team player, but the process should be gradual.
He still has a lot to learn. Vinicius is a young player, very fresh, but he does things that are not normal at his age.
The fact that he will play many more minutes in this club is inevitable."
