Fatti is clearly ahead. Denying that would be homerism; however, that doesn't mean he will have the better careers. Some players develop slower and some develop fast but plateu fast. I have faith in Vin if he can get out his own mind.
Man, even whit erros in front of goal, Vini is a extremely decisive player already. Him begins the goal against Atlético de Madrid. Made a assist against Manchester City. Score against Barcelona. And gained the penalty against Sociedad whit a great overral match. Him is decisive and always make a difference when the team needs a bit more of him.
I wish we could find a way to play Vinicius and Hazard together in the future. Can only happen if Hazard plays on the right. Hazard is still young enough to be a RM starter for next 3 years so we gotta figure it out.
Let's not forget the run and assist against Ajax in Amsterdam that made De Ligt look like a monkey on ice.
Vinicius is young and malleable, and should be coached up to at least be competent on the right so they can swap sides. I’d start Hazard and Vinicius together weekly under normal circumstances and let them move around a bit. Vinicius inability to hit the target wouldn’t be such a big issue on the right, where we’d primarily ask him to burn the leftback and cross or cutback.
Vini had a fantastic game against La Real. The end product isn't there and that's incredibly annoying as a fan of the club, but honestly he was great for about 60 minutes on both sides of the ball. It's just a joy to see him outpace everyone on the field heading at the opposition box, but I get just as pumped when he makes defensive contributions.
This kid is just so good Great attitude Work ethic Passion for the game Passion for the club Runs Defends Creates danger all game long If he gains composure in front of goal...OH MY
Great on both sides of the ball once again and got the goal. As other's have said he's been our best player so far.
The tracking back is new. His decision making has been far better than even before the stoppage. He's growing by the week. If he keeps up this work ethic, the sky is the ceiling.
Vini strikes again in another key match, give him more 2 years, will be a true beast. I wonder how him would be playing right now if Hazard hadn't been hired (Do not get me wrong my friends, i believe Hazard will still be very useful in future and even the presente, but his arrival threw Vinícius to ostracism and took away a lot of his confidence in the first six months), but Vini showed his strongest point (For me), he is unshakable, his personality is made of iron, a real competitor to turn the table around and continue evolving his game.
Hazard helps him. People understate the benefit of having great players mentoring these younger players, probably does more good than just sending them out on the pitch on a nightly basis. Not to mention, it takes some of the weight of the expectations off their shoulders.
Vinicius Junior has 5 goal contributions in last 7 games. That’s 3 goals and 2 assists. Probably the best green patch he has had since 2018/19. Real Madrid lead. pic.twitter.com/cYGWzee7tC— Ashish (@RMadridEngineer) June 24, 2020
Getting major Higuain vibes with this guy, not only from a fan favorite perspective, but also as a player who arrived as a teenager and gave the team a pulse and gave energy to a stale, aging attack.
Higuain broke the Serie A Maradona goalscoring record if you'd say this when he arrived people would cringe in laughter. He's labeled a choker because of a few incidents, and as a shield to protest Messi from measuring up to his expectations.
I agree with this, but, he did seem to struggle in European competition, from what I read, this is what is often used to beat him over the head ( choker) so in that scenario at least, I hope Vin is different
That's wildly overstated. I think he casually outscored Griezmann for example for most years, and yet, he gets that tag that he's the Euro choker. I think one day we'll look back at Higuain and figure that he was treated very unfairly.
Higuain was good but not on Elite Level we got rid of him at the right time i feel. We had his best years.
i think the break did everyone good. We have a chance in the CL too with more confidence going and building momentum
I completely agree with you, I’m just saying, I’ve read lots and lots of posts right here giving that very reason as to why many prefer Benz for example over him, all else seemed to be deemed irrelevant, so, just putting that out there.....
