Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has heaped praise on Vinícius Júnior following the winger’s recent run of outstanding performances for the Spanish giants. The Brazilian has been instrumental in Los Blancos’ attack, showing confidence and flair as Madrid continue their strong start to the season, Softfootball reports.
Real Madrid cruised to an emphatic 5-0 victory over Kairat Almaty in their last UEFA Champions League game, with Vinícius once again playing a key role in the team’s attacking rhythm.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his Official X handle , Alonso expressed his delight at seeing the forward in such fine form and enjoying his football, Romano posted;
Vinicius is crucial and decisive for us. I’m happy to see Vinicius enjoying himself, smiling. We talked about the impact he could have and how he could change the game. His day-to-day performance is good, and he responds very well in games.
The Brazilian winger also proved his importance earlier in the La Liga season, putting in a man-of-the-match display during Madrid’s 3-1 win over Villarreal — a performance that reminded fans why he remains one of Europe’s most exciting talents.
Vinícius is now gradually finding his rhythm again after a slow start to the campaign, and his resurgence will be vital as Real Madrid prepare to face Juventus next in the UEFA Champions League.
