DBasia.news – Rivaldo, one of the icons of Brazilian football, has strong faith that Vinicius Junior can play together with Eden Hazard at Real Madrid.
Some time ago, Vinicius was pessimistic that he could play more in the 2019 season as Hazard arrived from Chelsea. The 18-year-old Brazilian striker is pessimistic because Hazard is playing in his position: left-wing striker.
But according to Rivalo, Vinicius should focus on improving his performance rather than thinking about Hazard. Rivaldo believes Zinedine Zidane, the Madrid coach, has thought of a scheme to play for both.
“Real Madrid looks forward to ways to accommodate star players. Apart from the recent comments from Vinicius Junior, I believe he can play easily with Eden Hazard at Real Madrid. They can even make a good offensive duo,” Rivaldo told Goal. .
“Playing with quality players like Hazard will make him more as he will feel the benefits, as well as Real Madrid. Vinicius just has to focus on his work and try to convince Zidane to make him the top choice.”
“Clubs make many changes to the squad, so they have to adapt to each other and Zidane’s work will be crucial – he’s the perfect manager.”
“As a (former) player, Zidane is known for false accusations about laziness when playing – very clever – and he clearly has plans to put the two players together, so they combine and adapt when playing. Real Madrid should be stronger next season,” concluded Rivaldo.
Hazard came along with other new El Real recruits such as: Rodrygo Goes, Eder Militao, Luka Jovic, Ferland Mendy, and Takefusa Kubo.
