Real Madrid Vinicius's outdated contract: from the bet at 16 to the bargain at 21
Real Madrid Vinicius' revenge against Brazil's indifference: "Where I am happy"
Goals The evolution of Vinicius: changes in diet, training to the limit and personal fulfillment
"
That you deserve something does not mean that they will give it
to you, sometimes you have to take what is yours." In
Coach Carter
, translated into Spanish as
Game of Honor
,
Samuel L. Jackson
stars in the true story of
Ken Carter
, the basketball coach of
the Richmond Institute
, in
California
, who decided to suspend the training sessions and the games of his team due to the bad academic grades of the players. The film, turned into a life lesson, is one of those feature films that are always recommended in sports academies. It helps to understand the importance of maturity, study and head when developing in the world of sports. Perhaps the fact that
Coach Carter
, and no other, is
Vinicius Júnior's favorite film
can help to understand the Brazilian footballer's sporting explosion in recent months.
A player who had
problems in front of goal
, who had added
14 goals in 6,276 minutes
since his debut with Real Madrid in 2018, and who from August to December has scored
12 goals in 1,813 minutes
on the pitch. A statistical outrage that is the result of a
natural
sporting evolution
, the confidence of
Carlo Ancelotti
and the
mental
click
of the young striker, who has become the right eye of the Bernabéu fans and one of the greatest jewels in world football. "
Work, work and work,
" they insist in their surroundings. A job that is
sporting and also psychological
, although not with big talks or sessions, but with an attitude when facing the problems that come from adolescence.
His particular 'Coach Carter'
On the pitch, the Brazilian has not lacked
the character and mentality
of his great idols:
Michael Jordan, Lewis Hamilton and LeBron James
. Born in
2000
, Vinicius has always identified with them on and off the field. He has not lacked an attitude to
withstand the pressure of Chamartín
during his early years, when things did not always go well for him, nor now, when he has to endure
very critical environments
outside of Madrid, such as his last visit to the Camp Nou. And beyond football, the forward has been infected with the
social commitment
of his idols, exemplified in the
ViniJr Institute
that he launched this summer in
Sao Gonçalo
, the
Rio suburb
where he grew up. "If I could go back to my time as a child, what would I do differently?
The time has come to make my dream come true
," he said last July. Mixing
technology, sports and education
is his next goal in the neighborhood where he was born.
An attitude that is also explained from the figure of
his father Vinicius
, "
his great reference
", admit those who know him best.
His
private
Coach Carter
who moved to Sao Paulo to work while his son studied and played at the
Flamengo
facilities
in Rio. With him, with his mother
Fernanda
, with his uncle, with his brothers, with his niece and with three friends he lives in his house in Madrid, focused on football and away from parties during the season. Now the loaded football calendar prevents you from doing
double training sessions
he was doing a couple of months ago, first in Valdebebas and then at home, and he is focused on rest, as Sergeant
Antonio Pintus
, head of Madrid's physical preparation, establishes.
A great derby, the pending subject
Thanks to this recovery work, Vinicius has reached December at an exceptional time both statistically and physically.
He is the
fourth footballer with the most minutes
in the squad, only behind
Courtois, Militao and Alaba
, accumulates
20
consecutive
starts
, adds
five goals
in the last six league games and tonight he will once again be Madrid's main offensive weapon against a
Athletic
who, for the moment, has not been very good at it.
He has played
230 minutes against the rojiblancos
, divided into eight games (4 wins, 3 draws and one loss), and has only been able to produce
one assist
.
He still has many things to achieve on the football planet and reigning in the Madrid derby is one of them.
"
I know I have to work a lot,
" he said this week.
