Fran Garrido Issues a Warning about Vinícius and His Attitude: 'You Will Lose Him...'

One of the most recognizable names for everyone right now is that of Vinícius Jr. The green-yellow player swept the individual awards of the Intercontinental Cup, being the best player of the final and of the entire tournament. In addition, a day earlier he had personally collected the 'The Best' trophy, organized and presented by FIFA.

That remarkable run of trophies, as the '7' himself has acknowledged, would have been impossible without the work of the first team, his teammates. The Vinícius' union with the rest of the players in the white changing room makes them one of the best soccering teams in Europe... and the victory at the Lusail stadium against Mexican Pachuca is just further proof of this.

Since then, there have been many debates about Vinícius, especially about Madrid center-forward's personality. Because his message on social media after winning the 'The Best', very acidic with his critics, made it clear that he is still prepared to "do ten times better if necessary."

Again, at El Chiringuito de Jugones they entered into this debate and Fran Garrido, a regular commentator on Real Madrid, has put an end to all the conversations about the player. "Vinícius' attitude is what makes him so competitive," he reveals.

Impossible to change

The 'essence' of Vinícius Jr., his true competitive personality, is reflected both on and off the field. Fran Garrido has no doubts about the link between Vinícius' personality and his results as a player in the European elite.

Because "if you try to change him, you're going to lose him as a player," says the commentator and opinion-maker. Real Madrid continue to trust in a Vinícius who, since he arrived at the white club in the summer of 2018, has only had one objective: to succeed. At the moment, with two Champions Leagues under his belt, he is achieving it.

For Vinícius to remain the most decisive player in Europe, according to Fran Garrido, his personality must remain unchanged. Perhaps that would explain why people like Florentino Pérez or Carlo Ancelotti have become the main supporters of the Brazilian star.

Over time, his list of 'protectors' has grown. Favorable opinions about the best player of last season, certified by UEFA, are increasing in number and in power: even Barça legends are approaching him.
