"Real" Madrid veterans, and now even Thibaut Courtois, are amazed by the rapid progress of Vinicius Junior in the main team. 18-year-old V. Junior, who cost 45 million euros, is slowly becoming a leader of Madrid's "Real" team. Starting the season in the second team, the Brazilian under Santiago Solari has had the opportunity to establish himself in the main team and he has almost perfectly utilized this opportunity. In 20 games, V. Junior has scored four goals and made nine assists. Speaking about the Brazilian, T. Courtois said that he has similarities to his compatriot Eden Hazard: "He reminds me of Eden. Vinicius is so self-confident. At his age, he plays so boldly, not afraid of any opponent. They really are similar." T. Courtois also praised the team's stability - it was already the fifth consecutive win. "We are in good form, happy about this series of victories. In the league, we have won every game since losing to 'Real Sociedad'. They were all deserved. Now it is important to continue the work we have started. We have the King's Cup ahead of us, the derby, and later the Champions League," added the goalkeeper.
