"Rodrygo is better with the ball" Bigsoccer 2023 Although for context, I do think a lot of Vinicius dribble are him blasting away slower opponents. But I'll take it.
‼️ Infantino has been clear when asked about the racist insults to Vinicius. The protocol must be applied and the games to be stopped. If you have to stop the game three times, the third time the game must be considered lost to the team responsible for the insults. @AranchaMOBILE pic.twitter.com/gQiGdvwc1f— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) March 16, 2023
I hate how impotent Vini becomes when Xavi plays Araujo as rightback. Idk how Carlo plans to counter that, or he will just never learn.
If barca puts their best defender on Jr, surely our CF, nevermind our rw should have an easier time getting in the box and scoring.
I would like nothing more than to see this version of Vini. Unfortunately, this is not what we've been getting. We need him to emasculate Araujo.
Hoping Vini has an incredible finish to the season to show the world (again) that he belongs in the top tier list of attackers in the world. I'm still mad about his omission on Fifpro list (or whatever it's called)...
You do realize a couple of those highlights were from this season. He can only do so much when he's surrounded by 3 defenders and he still makes the pass only for the shot to be saved. My point is - as good as Araujo is - he's not the one keeping vini in check, it's the extra men they keep sending at him to help Araujo out. Our offense is just so broken we can't exploit the free space left behind from that extra help.
This 100% I posted an image of our average position against Barca the space between Vini and everyone was so big I felt sorry for him. How can you not give your most threatening player the tools to succeed. I just don't get it..

Now imagine bringing in Mbappe, Haaland, etc., to compete directly against him for playing time but also make Vinicius the captain and expect anything other than awkward moments and friction.
Nacho (6) & Kroos (8) average position in possession in this Clásico.Fixing the isolation issue that Vinícius has both due to the system & lack of attacking threat from LB should be high priority for Real Madrid.

What is that you think is nonsense? I think it accurately reflects what goes on on the pitch and Carlo has done nothing to address it.
Yeah well, you can't expect everyone to be nice with you and to be focused only when people are nice with you.

I'll say it for the thousandth time watch the games, Vin likes to dribble, it's the same with the national team, are all these players playing with him especially at LB rubbish, if you watch Madrid which i know you do, you should have noticed for years now how nearly every single thing goes through our left side, most meaningful attacks come from there, we've all watched 4 or 5 of our payers congregate on that side of the pitch over and over again whilst the right side is pretty much dead, how many complaints are they game after game about not having a real presence in the box, where are they?, mostly out on the left, with Vin, Vin is not isolated, His best goalscoring and trophy winning season comes from him playing there just as he likes to, he likes getting the ball, holding on to it, taking players on and more often than not looking for Benz, Toni Rodrygo Luka someone who is inside rather than looking outside, and that's with David, Eduardo, Nacho, whoever is playing LB at the time for Brazil where he more often than not looks inside as well heading towards goal, and the hated Ferland, watch closely, all the players get up alongside him at some point, (unless we are going back to a Marcelo like player (they aren't any) who spent most of his time attacking but unfortunately left a highway down his side especially against decent teams which made us all suffer), but Vin will rarely go outside, On the other side of the coin Carlo seems to also like his LB to come inside when going forward leaving the outside lane for Toni or whoever is at LM, we see it time and time again, some fans called Ferland stupid for it , saying he doesn't know where to be position wise, then they saw David, Camma and Nacho doing the same thing and no one said a word, instead it was "see that's how a LB should play, see the difference", not really, clearly that's the way Carlo wants them to play instead of going outside all the time and also to leave space for Toni to create and dictate from there, We see it game after game and still we have this talk about Vin being isolated, because of the player he is and how he likes to play i'd say he prefers to be one on one with his man, his first instinct is to dribble, not play the ball out wide and head to the center for a cross or to cross the ball himself for that matter, it's not his game, also, who would anyone out there cross to, Benz is normally out there playing with them.
