• Controversy: bouquets and the arbitration films

The victory against Mallorca left a warm and friendly Thursday at the white club. Life is seen with better color from the head of the table. "Much joke with his bad aim, but we still end up winning the League by a goal of his," they say in the Madrid high command about Vinicius .

They do not refer to his goal on Wednesday or any that may come in the final days, but to the one that opened the victory in the classic on March 1 and that today, at the end of June, allows the leadership of the Zidane team by the g oal particular average conquered. That action was crumbled by the gesture of Gerard Piqué, shamelessly leaving the Brazilian free lane towards the goal. An invitation to kick, perhaps convinced that his vision would blur again.

In that feint of the central and businessman, in that imaginary signal with his finger saying to his rival "shoot, boy, you are not going to put it" emerged the cliché of a bad auctioneer that the Madrid striker has dragged on since he debuted in Spain. Even so, just in case or because he regretted such condescension, the Barca center-back tried to cover the shot at the last minute, causing the ball to go bite towards Ter Stegen's net .

The carioca shot had not been a marvel this time either. But the ball went in, Madrid put the classic on track and the goal difference in particular, and now he is the leader for that. "Viniiiiiii", his teammates yelled at him after Mallorca after placing the 1-0 over Reina with a subtle touch of instep. Definition of talent and work, surprising for his legion of critics.

The young player does not forget the nickname Ficticius , sprouted in the rojiblanco universe, as a pinch of motivation. With all its flaws, the Brazilian already decided a derby at Wanda last year, this year the match against Barcelona and has come out of confinement as Real Madrid's best offensive solution.

In this little Coronavirus League, where the legs are going to be decisive, his imposing physique is giving him a few meters of advantage that are pure gold. The team is looking for him to break lines with his best weapon, the long ball and the one-on-one race. As basic as it is effective.

Athletic records

The overflow came standard, due to superior genetics. The club's doctors and specialists are amazed by its endurance in intensity races for so many minutes, from the beginning to the end of matches. The collected performance data indicates that it maintains near perfect constants.

Those lungs give offensive alternatives to Madrid at any time of the game, but its deployment does not remain in the attack. And here is the aspect that has made Zidane change his mind the most , reluctant to bet on him at the beginning of the season.

“You have understood that your mission in every move does not end when you shoot on goal or pass; but when it presses to the exit of the rival ”, they explain from the sports direction of the white club. During the confinement he internalized a methodology that he has now maintained.

After training with the team, he continues at home in the afternoons with more physical and technical work. In the morning, Zidane in person is in charge of helping you in private definition sessions in front of the goal. The improvement is coming, although Madrid and himself acknowledge that there is still much to fine-tune the giddy point that he still spends sometimes.

Remarkable evolution

"A thoroughbred," they continue to define him. Few thought about the entity that in its first two years was going to become one of the most unbalanced players in Europe. PSG last summer only agreed to sit down and talk about the Neymar sale if Vinicius entered the operation.

When asking about his evolution, two names always appear: Casemiro and Marcelo. Both have served as tutors for the experience they accumulate in Valdebebas. They also came from Brazil very young and they also had to earn their bread between suspicious glances. Vinicius has been reminded that talent without discipline is not enough in the elite, and less in Real Madrid. The 19-year-old boy seems to be paying attention.
