Bellingham, the young English player, quickly rose to prominence after joining Real Madrid. In the most recent Spanish derby, he scored twice with a stunning performance, including a stunning harassment and a stunning goal, which completely conquered the Real Madrid fans. Moreover, he also won the Kopa Award, which made his light shine even brighter.
However, Bellingham's rise has also highlighted Real Madrid's current lack of strikers. As a midfielder, Bellingham has been outstanding at Real Madrid, thanks to Carlo Ancelotti's correct use of him. However, his impressive performances have highlighted the lack of Real Madrid's current strikers.
This season, Real Madrid have only four regular Indian strikers: Vinicius, Rodrygo, Joselu and Brahim Dias. However, all four strikers have been rather mediocre this season. After Benzema's departure, Vinicius, as the leader of the team, should have carried the banner of attack.
However, after Eden Hazard terminated his contract with Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr. took over the number 7 shirt, which symbolizes the leader of Real Madrid. This shows how seriously the club values the Brazilian player. However, Vinicius' performance this season has not been as good as it could have been. Despite Vinicius' various controversies and verbal spat that are haunting, his performance remains mediocre.
He quarrels with referees, opponents, away fans and even rival managers almost everywhere. He seems to be completely caught in the trap of these emotional entanglements, but he himself is unaware. After Bellingham scored twice in the national derby, Vinicius Jr. commented "JB5=CR7" on Bellingham's social media, which means praising his team-mate for having Cristiano Ronaldo's greatness.
However, has Vinicius ever thought that he himself is the one who wears the number 7 shirt and is expected to succeed Cristiano Ronaldo? Hasn't he ever thought about changing the status quo and improving his goalscoring efficiency? Judging by Vinicius's words and deeds, it seems that he has accepted the fact that he has taken a back seat and become an auxiliary player. However, Real Madrid will never tolerate such a lack of fighting spirit and ambition for a player to continue to be the face of the team.
If Vinicius continues with his current status, he could soon be replaced by another player. So, how should Vinicius change the status quo? First of all, he needs to focus on improving his goalscoring efficiency. He can improve his shooting skills and offensive awareness with more practice and study. At the same time, he should also let go of those pointless quarrels and focus on the game.
After all, a good player should prove himself with strength and results, not with his mouth. In addition, Vinicius needs to work more with Bellingham. Bellingham's performances at Real Madrid have proven his quality and worth. Partnering with it can help Vinicius make better use of his strengths and improve the offensive efficiency of the entire team.
In conclusion, Vinicius must be aware of his responsibility and mission not only to be the leader of the team, but also to play a bigger role on the offensive end. He needs to let go of pointless bickering and focus on improving his skills. At the same time, he should also learn from Bellingham's success and work with him to breathe new life into Real Madrid's attack. Only then can he truly become a new generation of superstars for Real Madrid.
