The Brazilian winger delivered an emotional message to Real Madrid fans after starting in the 6-1 victory against AS Monaco. “I’m human too,” said the 25-year-old; at the same time, he clarified certain speculations about the remaining year of his contract and the possibility of renewing with the Merengues, assuring that he is calm about the situation despite the little time left.
Emotional response in the middle of the criticism
Vinícius Júnior had this moment of emotional vulnerability in the post-match interview, where he told the press about his difficulties in dealing with his mental health during these weeks of ups and downs and turbulence for both the player and the team. He spoke about how the whistles from some fans affected him and how they cut him to the core.
The Real Madrid winger acknowledged to Movistar+ the difficulty of playing for ‘the biggest club in the world’ and admitted that expectations were, therefore, high. "But I'm also human." I don’t want to be booed at home, where I feel very comfortable. In recent matches, I didn’t feel comfortable because every time I did something wrong, they booed me,” said Vinícius Jr.
Vinícius Júnior does not want anything to do with the drama
The Brazilian also expressed the need for unity among the Merengues and decided to distance himself from the drama surrounding the changes in sports management. He denied playing any role in Xabi Alonso’s dismissal and expressed his support for the new coach, Arbeloa.
