"Marca" wrote an article to comment on Vinicius' current situation and future in Real Madrid.
"Marca" said that Vinicius is facing an urgent "turnaround battle" and he needs to become Real Madrid's decisive player again, while completely getting rid of the 2024 Golden Globes defeat.
Ten months have passed, and Vinicius has never reappeared the tragic performance of a hat-trick in the Champions League. Last season, the stars of Real Madrid were collectively bleak; to this day, Vinicius is still looking for the best form. In the first round of the match against Osasuna, the spotlight belongs to Mbappe, who took over the right to fire. Vinicius performed mediocrely: he had almost no threat to face close-fitting defense and was locked cleanly by the opponent's defender; on the contrary, young players such as Heisen, Carreras, and Mastantono stole the limelight that night.
Alonso's warning is not casual. Real Madrid fans have not seen Vinicius, who has continued to hit the defense from the first minute to the 90th minute. Today, although his starting position has not been shaken, there are alternatives on the bench: Gonzalo, and Rodrigo, whose form is gradually recovering.
Another thing that makes fans anxious is contract renewal. The seemingly for sure contract renewal a few months ago has not been completed yet, and Saudi Arabia's huge contract has been circling. Although all parties expressed calmness to the outside world, the tug-of-war negotiations still made many supporters feel upset.
Of course, Vinicius's superstar status in the locker room has not changed due to the arrival of Mbappe, Bellingham and others; it is an indisputable fact that the state has declined in the past few months. Getting Vinicius back to the top has now become one of Alonso's top priorities.
