Vinicius’ best game in a year and a half

So what?
Are you seriously planning to get back to your best, or are you just hoping for Real Madrid fans’ hopes?

Real Madrid didn’t gain an advantage today until Vinicius showed some individual brilliance.

He was isolated in space and a one-on-one situation, and then dribbled in, scored, and opened the game.

But do you want something serious?
If you wanted Vinicius to stay ahead of you and continue to his best, you would have had to have a striker like Harry Kane or Alvarez with him.

Not Mbappé, who spent the entire game trying to occupy his left area and completely neglect the center.

The two are completely unsuitable for each other. This invention doesn’t work, believe me, Perez!

Vinicius played a game today that should have restored confidence.

He scored two goals, created six chances, made six dribbles, and won 11 tackles.

Imagine that Vinicius is now the second-highest goal scorer in La Liga with nine goals and the second-highest chance creator with 19.

All of this, and he still hasn’t recovered his form!

If Vinicius recovers his form—which isn’t easy given the current squad—he could truly turn Real Madrid’s season around.

Vinicius’ best game in about a year and a half.
Glory be to God, it turns out that Vinicius plays, shines, scores, creates, and causes penalties, while Mbappé is on the field normally.

It’s not impossible, really. It’s not forbidden, really.
When we said the problem was with Vinicius himself, people refused to believe the truth.

Today, he created 6 chances, made 6 successful dribbles, and won 11 doubles.
What was different today was his spirit and determination to try.
His acceleration was high; he wanted to prove something.

I have a few comments on him, but they’re normal, like his defensive side and his play with Carreras. He needs to pass to him more when he overlaps.

But overall?!

This should be the bare minimum from Vinicius that we’re used to, because he has so much more.

Go back to minute 38
Go back to minute 40

Look at Mbappé taking over the flanks from Vinicius, and in one of those shots, Vinicius was forced to come in as a striker!

It’s like watching Ancelotti’s Real Madrid last season!

In the second half, Alonso tried to bring Ceballos forward to the final third to take up the space between Mbappé and Vinicius and isolate them.

This was completed by Bellingham when he came on in the second half.

Both players want the ball at their feet, and both are in the same receiving position, with the depth empty.

This combination has never proven successful, but Vinicius and Rodrygo are successful, and Rodrygo and Mbappé are successful.

The situation is very complicated because you don’t know who to put on the bench and who to play to the right wing.

As usual, Rodrygo is the one who carries the ball tonight because he keeps it quiet.

So it’s Mbappé and Vinicius, and the two are not suitable for each other.

It’s an eternal dilemma with no solution, by the way, because you can’t play Mbappé on the bench or the right wing, or even Vinicius on the bench or the right wing.
