Vinícius Júnior opens up on his difficult spell and pledges return

Vinícius Júnior, of Real Madrid, said after the match that he is dealing with a “bad” moment while insisting he will bounce back. He also admitted frustration with his own output: “I am not worried… but I am angry at myself for not giving my best version.”

The Brazilian addressed the crowd too, saying the reaction doesn’t help him. “The whistles from the fans do NOT help me… I’d rather they support me,” while he added that he understands why it happens. He then looked back at his early years and confidence over time, recalling that at 18 “people LAUGHEd AT ME” because he “CANNOT SCORE GOALS”, and stressing that today he has “MORE THAN 100 GOALS” for Real Madrid.

He wrapped up by referencing the trophies he has won with the club and repeating his promise to return: “I’ve won A LOT OF TITLES HERE… I will be back, mark my words,” as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
