DBasia.news – The former Brasil national team player, Savio, assumed Vinicius Junior still needs plenty of time to be the starting eleven of Real Madrid. Savio believed Vinicius still needs adapting to Europe football.
Real Madrid spent £40M to recruit Vinicius Junior from Flamengo. In Brasil, Vinicius is considered as the next Neymar. Besides playing in the same position, Vinicius also has the same individual strength as his senior.
With £40M for an 18-year-old player, many people put the pressure on Vinicius to prove himself in Madrid. But, Savio gave different advice.
“I understand the situation and the desire of Vinicius to play as soon as possible. It is normal for Real Madrid fans to want to see him on the field, but I also know that it is not easy,” Savio said reported by Marca.
Considering the Madrid squad, Vinicius chance to get the playing time is relatively small. Moreover, in the left wing, he competes with Isco and Marco Asensio.
“They have a top-quality squad, with young players who they occupy the same position. In the United States he did very well, but he has to be calm, very calm, and work hard,” Savio said.
“He has to adapt to the Real Madrid style, the Spanish style and the style of play in Europe. He has to improve his tactical ability and adapt with his teammates.”
“And see the standard of the Spanish league. He is a very young player, he is 18 years old. He must know how to wait for his chance and when he has to try to do his best,” Savio said.
