Real Madrid forward Vinícius Jr., author of a hat trick in the victory against Barcelona (4-1) that allowed the white team to win the Spanish Super Cup, acknowledged that he continues “learning” and that he wants to be “a person better”.
Vinícius, MVP of the final, explained that, sometimes, he wants to “do everything for the team” and that his character can play tricks on him. On Sunday again he had his pluses and minuses with the Barça bench after the fourth goal and the expulsion of Araújo.
“I am very sad, because everyone wants to fight with me, because they know that in the end it will appear in the press, that Vinícius does this or that, but I try to be very calm and very focused on the game to help my teammates as best as possible. colleagues,” he said in the Al-Awwal Park press room.
The Brazilian, however, admitted that sometimes he crosses the line: “I’m not stupid and I know that sometimes I talk too much and do things I don’t have to do, but I’m here to improve, I want to improve and I’m learning.”
Regarding the victory in the classic, Vinícius highlighted that Real Madrid played “an almost perfect match”, since “scoring four goals against Barça is not easy at all” and explained why he celebrated the first goal like his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo did.
“Cristiano is my idol and he plays here,” recalled the Real Madrid striker, who also wanted to dedicate his great performance. “I want to thank my personal physio, all the doctors and physiotherapists at Real Madrid and my teammates and the coach, who has given me the confidence and the opportunity to reach my best version today for this match, but it is not still my best version,” he concluded.
For his part, the Madrid coach made the heels of Vinícius and Bellingham ugly in the final minutes: “I don’t like the heel. Vinícius has done it and Bellingham has done it and I don’t like it.” However, the merengue leader also wanted to praise the Brazilian forward’s performance: “Vini has needed two or three games to return to his best level, but he has returned.”
