Madrid's "Real" club is shining with its brightest colors, Vinicius Junior, who is now forced to watch the team's game from abroad, although he revealed that he may be able to play a few games by the end of the season. After Julen Lopetegui's dismissal, V. Junior became perhaps the most dangerous player in the "Real" team's attack. However, the 18-year-old Brazilian suffered a shin injury in the UEFA Champions League match against "Ajax" and dropped out of the lineup for at least two months. In an interview, V. Junior stated that while he was still playing in Brazil, the biggest "Real" competitor, "Barcelona," approached him. However, the player himself decided to associate his future with the Madrid team. "While I was playing in Brazil, my dad didn't tell me about the interest of other clubs. But then "Barcelona" and "Real" appeared," the Brazilian said on the "Cadena Ser" radio show. "I visited the faculties of both clubs and both left a good impression on me. "Barcelona" was willing to pay more, but the project of the Madrid club seemed better to me. The conversation with Marcelo and Casemiro also helped me make a decision," Vinicius said. Vinicius scored four goals and made 11 assists in 28 games this season. Asked if he expected to get so much playing time this season, the footballer replied: "Everything happened so quickly. Marcelo and Casemiro always encourage me to stay calm and not worry about what people are saying about me. Probably no one expected me to play so much right after leaving Brazil. I want to triumph with "Real" and enjoy the friendship of the players on this team."
