Despite the defeat, Ramón de Mon praises this Real Madrid star on social media

Real Madrid left the RCDE Stadium without being able to earn any points after a match that will generate many analyzes in every sense. Because not only do the tactical assessments that the white technical staff will already be analyzing matter ahead of the Copa del Rey quarter-final clash in Butarque. Also, the refereeing controversy that affected Kylian Mbappé.

Ramón Álvarez de Mon closely followed the match of Carlo Ancelotti's pupils, a game that left Vinícius as one of the most outstanding players of the team. Not only for his attempts to regain the position lost in recent matches, whether due to suspension, but for his disallowed goal due to a prior foul by Kylian Mbappé.

While it's true that his goal didn't count to define the match result against Espanyol, the Real Madrid member made his opinion clear. "The dribble Vinícius just did is one of the most beautiful things I've seen on a field in quite some time", he wrote on his official account on the social network X.

The verdeamarelo footballer has returned to the merengue sports discipline just in time, because they still have to face Leganés, Atlético de Madrid, and Manchester City in three different competitions. All those matches, which put the possibility of achieving the first 'treble' in the history of the white club at stake, will need the best Vinícius to be solved in favor of the merengue team.

Little by little

Ramón Álvarez de Mon didn't miss the opportunity of Vinícius's performance on the Espanyol field to recall the "creativity" he has shown since he arrived in the Madridist locker room. At first, his dribbles weren't successful, as well as most of his shots on goal.

But his adaptation to the competitive rhythm of the European football elite, as well as Carlo Ancelotti's return to tactical direction, made Vinícius one of the most decisive players. There is still some time to see the best version of the South American '7', something that would be as pertinent as it is urgent considering the entity of the upcoming rivals.

The competitive calendar assigned for the 24/25 season requires players like Vinícius to step up once again. During his absence, teammates like Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, and Rodrygo Goes have done so in January. The beginning of this February, however, hasn't been ideal.

It largely depends on Vinícius to regain control of the situation for Real Madrid. After all, he is one of the leaders of the Madrid squad both on and off the field, a position that no one has 'gifted' him. Madridists hope that the best Vinícius returns as soon as possible with his best 'tricks' ready to guarantee victory.
