Spain content material supervisor at Transfermarkt Iván Fuente provides us extra perception to the affect made by Vinicius at Madrid: “In recent years, Real Madrid have signed many young players and one of the reasons is the costly renovation of the stadium, which has been much more expensive than expected. Vinicius had a difficult start. The cost of his signing put him under a lot of pressure playing with Castilla in a low division. He scored four goals in five games, but his play bothered opponents and he even had problems in a derby against Atlético B where he was bitten by an opposition player! At the beginning with the first team it was said he had no goals in his game and that his skills generated little danger. But Carlo Ancelotti really helped Vinicius to improve his goalscoring ability.”
Fuente also discussed Rodrygo’s journey, “Rodrygo’s start as a Real Madrid player was something of a preview of his career. He was better in the Champions League than in La Liga. He scored four goals in five games in Europe in his first season, but just two in 19 in the league. He started as a substitute, but ended up getting into the starting eleven. He played fewer games with Castilla than Vinicius.” If Endrick was searching for inspiration, the 2 wingers that made the transfer from Brazil to Madrid earlier than him couldn’t provide far more. If he can have an identical affect, he’s positive to be one other Real Madrid celebrity.
