Vinicius Jr Presented At Madrid
Vinicius Jr’s presentation as a new Real Madrid player took place on Friday in the presidential box of the Santiago Bernabeu. The Brazilian forward signed a contract to join the whites last year, with the transfer just coming into effect July 2018.
Welcoming the new player in front of the audience, club President Florentino Perez made the presentation. “You desire to succeed with this badge and now it’s time to do it.” said Perez following a video of Vinicus Jr’s biggest moments.
Useful as a left winger or a second striker. However, it’s still to be seen whether the teenager will be loaned out or remain with the first team for the new season. Perhaps a positive display in pre-season matches could see Vinicius earn his spot now.
It is no secret that ‘Los Blancos’ are lacking in attack with club legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s summer move to Juventus. In addition, new coach Julen Lopetegui is experienced in developing young talent.
Understanding the need to convince, the teenager is clear about his objectives. Saying as much at the press conference on Friday. “Even at this age I’ll show the coach and my teammates that I’m ready.”
Vinicius Jr. will have his first opportunity this month when Lopetegui’s side begin USA pre-season action. Firstly, against Manchester United in Miami and later against Juventus in Maryland.
