Vinicius Junior’s leap this season has been extraordinary. The Brazilian has already scored nine goals and provided five assists in all competitions in the 2021/22 season.
Vinicius is not only limited to goals but his overall performance in the game is brilliant. The electrifying winger is devastating every defense he faces and is immensely effective on the wings.
One of the most crucial characteristics of improved Vini is his consistent performance. He has successfully completed at least third dribbles per game.
After the game against Elche, Carlo Ancelloti said, “I have not done anything. I am not a magician; I am just playing him (Vinicius) and giving him all the confidence I have.”
The evolution of Vini Jr has been of tremendous help to the club this season. In the previous season, Karim Benzema was the only reliable source of goal for the team but, with Vini’s exceptional form, the Frenchman would be relieved of some pressure.
The young Brazilian was also full of praise for his manager and his teammates and said, “I am really happy with what I have been doing since the start of the campaign,” the Brazilian began. “I just want to continue in this vein until the end of the season.
“Ancelotti gives us lots of confidence. I keep working hard and keep listening to those around me. It is important to have confidence.”
“Modric always asks me to play without the ball, that the ball is going to come. Before the game, Modric asked me to do that, and during the game, it went very well and I was able to score two goals.”
