zero dribbles, zero shots, 18 turnovers and replaced by Endrik | Relief

Everyone expects a lot from Vinicius Junior and his team.. The Real Madrid player, one of the stars of this team, is the great hope of fans who always look for him during training and travel. But “7” hasn’t “arrived” yet, and he doesn’t do well in green and yellow.

His match against Costa Rica was very unsuccessful.. The left-footed winger played in the position he knows best, but never played a role in the match. He played 71 minutes before being replaced by his new teammate Endrik.j. The former Flamengo player failed to complete any of the six dribbles he attempted throughout the game. The Costa Rican defenders controlled all their attacks very well and had a good scoring rate..

In addition, Vini looked nervous during the game. Protests and complaints to the referee, opponents, and yourself. Every time a play didn’t work out, he got upset. And of course, the opponents took advantage of this to take him out of the game more and more, each time they tried to make Madrid uncomfortable and achieved this. Special mention goes to Jayland Mitchell, a 19-year-old player with 50 professional games under his belt who made life impossible for a Madrid player.

The Real Madrid player had poor control of the ball and shots. In 71 minutes spent on the field, he was unable to hit a single goal. It’s true that the size of SoFi Stadium was an issue, but that was by no means an excuse.

Continuing with the statistics, Vini was weak in fights, as out of the nine he played, he only won three., he also did not throw good crosses (only completed one) and lost the ball 18 times – a figure that is too high for a player of his characteristics. Against Paraguay in the second game of the group stage, he will have the chance to get rid of the thorn and have a good game with his team.
