Vinicius Jr., a standout player for Real Madrid, has amassed a loyal following despite his tender years. Although some people may find his actions on the field to be dubious, the fact remains that his talent and professionalism are what bring him to the forefront of attention whenever Los Blancos play.
The 23-year-old has been plagued by injuries during the course of this season; nonetheless, this has not prevented him from making a significant contribution to the team’s success. Through his efforts in the UEFA Champions League, he has already scored four goals and provided an assist in La Liga, and he has also contributed four goals in the UEFA Champions League.
The rapid-fire of Couto’s
During a recent engagement with the media, Girona’s youthful right-back Yan Couto was subjected to a grueling rapid-fire routine in which he was asked to fire through some heated questions.
According to Madrid Xtra, the Brazilian player, who is 21 years old, was asked who the most challenging attacker he had ever faced. In response, he said that Vinicius Jr. was the most challenging opponent he had ever faced.
Despite the fact that he acknowledged that the Real Madrid star was the most difficult opponent he had ever guarded against, he also expressed his respect for the abilities of his fellow countryman, Vinicius, and once again named him as his favorite player with whom he had traded uniforms.
The routine included a number of questions, including one that asked him to identify a club that he admired but did not play for, as well as a one that asked him to name his boyhood hero. He responded by naming Real Madrid at the same time.
Taking into consideration that Real Madrid has their eyes set on Couto as a potential transfer target in order to strengthen their right-back position, it is surely fascinating.
Participating in a unique group
The significance of Couto’s assessment of the best winger he has faced is clear when one considers the dominant performance that his club has shown during the course of this season.
As a matter of fact, Girona is now tied with Real Madrid in terms of points halfway through the season, with their only loss being against the Merengues.
When the two leaders competed against one other the previous year, Couto was confronted with the immediate issue of preventing Vinicius Jr. from winning.
The Brazilian winger, on the other hand, was unstoppable, as he supplied two crucial passes, created a significant opportunity, and completed one hundred percent of his long balls that he tried.
In the event that both teams continue to behave in the same way, the next time the two Brazilians compete against one another, it has the potential to be a pivotal match in the race for the championship.
