Real Madrid beat Olympiacos 4-3 in the fifth round of the Champions League. On the field, Mbappe gave a wonderful performance, scoring four goals for the Merengue team, but after the match, the Frenchman was keen to highlight the performance of Vinny Junior.
“I think it’s terrible that a full-back has to face Vinny for an hour and a half,” he said.
The newspaper “Marca” was also keen to praise the Brazilian’s performance. After all, the newspaper reported that coach Xabi Alonso will have to rethink the role of the number 7 within the team during the remainder of the season.
“There are matches that represent a turning point, moments when a player shows that his influence is undeniable. Against Olympiacos, Vinicius produced a performance in the first half that forced Xabi Alonso to rethink his tactics. His more aggressive and decisive version, the one that almost earned him the Ballon d’Or, came back into force. This performance prompted Xabi Alonso to reconsider the Brazilian’s role in the team,” highlighted the Joel del Rio Chronicle.
“Xabi Alonso seeks to build a dominant Real Madrid, capable of imposing an intense and constant rhythm. And if there is a player who can change the course of the match from the first step, that player is Vinicius. He is the player closest to causing constant disruption in the club’s line-up. Because he is the only one who can change the dynamics of the match with a single move. Although the goals were scored by Mbappe, it was the Brazilian who carried the weight of the team from the beginning. He advanced, he broke the defensive lines, forced the opponent back and provided additional support and his impact was complete, allowing “For his teammates to shine on the field.”
