On October 30, Beijing time, Real Madrid defeated Elche 2-1, and Vinicius scored twice to help the team win the key 3 points. Currently, Real Madrid are temporarily ranked No. 1 in La Liga, with Atletico and Barca trailing by 5 and 9 points respectively. Judging from the current situation, Real Madrid do not have much pressure in La Liga, and the focus should be on the Champions League after that. In this campaign, Vinicius once again ushered in an outbreak, and he proved the selection of national team coach Tite wrong with practical actions.
So far this season, Vinicius has scored nine goals and three assists in 14 of Real Madrid's matches in all competitions. In the entire Real Madrid team, Vinicius' contribution on the offensive end is second only to Benzema, and the two currently dominate the top two of la Liga's top scorers list. This season, Vinicius's growth is visible, with the 21-year-old Brazilian youngster regaining the starting spot and his progress quickly forgetting Eden Hazard's presence. Following this development, Hazard will spend more time on the bench.
In contrast, the performance of big brother Neymar this season has been very unsatisfactory to the fans. So far this season, Neymar has scored just two goals for Paris Saint-Germain, and his goal-scoring match with Vinicius is 2-9. After Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar not only did not rise, but instead declined in form, and the two superstars have not found the feeling of scoring this season. In addition to this, Neymar has been injured several times this season, which is also an important factor in his poor form.
However, in this case, Brazilian coach Tite chose the latter between Vinicius and Neymar. Supposedly, Brazil was already sitting back and relaxing in the World Preliminaries, and Neymar deserved more rest time to recuperate. But Tite did not choose this way, and instead excluded Vinicius, who was in better form, from the list.
According to Tite, Brazil's forward line is very competitive, but the fans' eyes are shining: Vinicius has been significantly better than Neymar in the near future. The famous transfer expert Romano also tweeted a special tweet to express doubts: I was puzzled by Vinicius's defeat, and listed a series of data for comparison.
Of course, for Vinicius' defeat, Real Madrid is happy to see! Despite Real Madrid's advantages in La Liga and the Champions League, they could not withstand injuries in international competitions. This season, Vinicius is the absolute core of Real Madrid, and if he has a problem, then Real Madrid's attack will all be pinned on Benzema, which is obviously not a good situation. Vinicius and Hazard, both of whom were once regarded as Ronaldo's successors, now finally have a clear answer!
