Real Madrid Confidencial The challenge Vini has set for himself this season: Mbappé will benefit
Vinicius is clear about what he will do for the season, and Mbappé smiles at this decision
If we have to talk about one of the key figures at Real Madrid, of course we have to mention Vinícius Junior. Obviously, the Brazilian footballer has everything it takes to be one of the most important players for the Whites. It seems that is what he wants, since, according to Defensa Central, he wants to be a difference-maker on the field again through his play, but alongside someone like Mbappé.
The Brazilian knows he can't do everything by himself and will look to find a balance in terms of team leadership together with the Frenchman. Although he has been warmly received by the fans, he knows not everyone is completely happy with him. That's why he wants to turn this situation around, changing the game plan once again and being essential in Alonso's plans.
Vinícius is convinced
This footballer has shown on several occasions that he can be an absolutely difference-making player when he sets his mind to it on the field. However, things haven't been the same since this last season, where there has been a dramatic drop in his performance. This could be due to having to share leadership with a footballer like Mbappé.
Nevertheless, it is known that these players have a very good relationship, so they could even complement each other on the field. Now Vinícius seems to have changed his mindset and is quite clear that he wants to get back to his best level for the coming season. He wants to improve his statistics, since this season, beyond the numbers, the overall feeling was not good.
He played 58 matches throughout the campaign with 76 hrs. 40 min. (4600 minutes) among them. Despite this, he had a very poor performance in 2025, which he wants to remedy in the second half of the year. With this, he wants to recover his form and, above all, make the team highly competitive again for the Champions League.
It's his moment
With the new coach and, above all, with what could be a new Real Madrid, it's the moment to show that he is a natural leader. A footballer who, in the current squad setup, can make a difference and be an absolutely essential player. Of course, always with the conviction of being the player who initially won over Madridists.
