“I was certainly better (against Juventus) than in the first match. I’ve been improving every day,” Vinicius told Real Madrid TV.
“And now I feel more confident, better physically and tactically, understanding everything that ‘professor’ Lopetegui has to teach us.”
“He is helping us a lot so that we adapt as soon as possible,” Vinicius Jr. continued.
Real Madrid signed Vinicius Jr. with a long-term contract. Vinicius Jr. signed the contract with Les Merengues until June 30, 2025.
