Brazilian star Vinicius, this season at Real Madrid how suddenly not

In addition to veteran players Luka Modric and Karim Benzema, 22-year-old Brazilian Vinicius also played a pivotal role in Real Madrid’s winning La Liga title and the Champions League last season. He quickly established himself as the main force in the team and also got the chance to start in Brazil.

Vinicius was born on July 12, 2000 in SAN Gonzalo, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. He is 1.76 meters tall and weighs 73kg. As a child, Vinicius grew up in a slum and showed great talent for soccer by playing wild ball with children. This is Serie A schedule. In 2017, Vinicius broke into Flamen’s first team and played well for the team, catching the attention of giant Real Madrid.

In the summer of 2018, Vinicius joined Real Madrid. In the 2018-19 season, Vinicius made 36 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions, scoring seven goals and 13 assists. Vinicius scored five goals and four assists in 38 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions during the 2019-20 season. In the 2020-21 season, Vinicius made 49 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions, contributing six goals and seven assists.

In the 2021-22 season, with the arrival of Ancelotti, Vinicius became the main force at Real Madrid, scoring 17 goals and 13 assists in 35 appearances in La Liga. He has scored 4 goals and provided 7 assists in 13 appearances in the Champions League. That is the top of the list and has raised Vinicius’ price tag to 120 million euros, just behind Mbappe and Haaland.

This season, however, Vinicius has been a so-so performer for Real Madrid, scoring just six goals and providing three assists in 16 La Liga appearances. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Vinicius made only one goal and two assists in four appearances, and was replaced early due to his poor performance against Croatia in the quarterfinals.

So, what happened to Vinicius? The fact that the numbers have fallen so far in just one season has a lot to do with Vinicius’ style. As a Brazilian player, Vinicius’ speed and dribbling skills are unmatched. In his first two years at Real Madrid, Vinicius’ biggest weakness is his ability to take chances in front of goal. Last season, his shooting improved significantly.

However, Vinicius still has his own weaknesses, his body is too thin, so the ability to fight is poor, relatively speaking, his passing more depends on speed, to put it bluntly, Vinicius without the ball skills far more than with the ball skills. This season each team to Vinicius attention, basically began to send people to mark him, and then also take a foul tactics to him, Vinicius is obviously not adapted to. Of course, it is a part of growing up. Vinicius may not be as successful as Haland or Mbappe, but he will still be a world-class star.
