Vinícius Júnior

[vlad]

He is still 18 years old, he can turn into robinho or he can make it big there, depends on his mentality, so far he is doing okay


Edit: im more interested, will real again with unexpirienced coach make it far in CL again? its their competition after all, like barca in la liga

 

[Benzema10]

he is well surrounded and will do good but i dont know if he'll make it big, that's another question.

 

[Cule4life]

Has nothing on Neymar. He can't finish. Move him to wing back and play Marcelo winger. That's what i would do if i was coach.

Graham Hunter chats shit. So annoying on Eleven Sports when he’s commentating, feel like muting it.

guess he hasn't seen Mbappe or Dembele then

 

[El Flaco]

Looked impressive against Ajax tonight.

 

[El Gato]

Should start the local Barcaforum list of young overrated players. Seems he's 2nd behind Mbappe ain't he.

 

[EdmondDantes]

This guy is scary. Close control and brutal speed are a dangerous combo.

 

[FCBfan22]

Inconsistent (expected for his age) but impressive. If he becomes consistent, he will be very scary.

Pains me to say this but he looks very promising. Haven’t really paid much attention to him until recently but it doesn’t seem like he has been a massive goal scorer throughout his career?

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Looked impressive against Ajax tonight.

Ajax played very risky game vs Real. He had tons of space. It would be interesting to see how he does vs parked busses.

Prototype winger. He’s Hazard-lite, with a worse finish.

[MENTION=16041]FinBarcelonafan[/MENTION]
The comment about space.. I mean he didn’t have a truckload of it. Sure, he was occasionally let loose on the counter which doesn’t happen against teams that don’t play a high line. But that’s pretty much where he excelled since November. Most teams that we play defend at their penalty box line. He is good at taking on fullbacks from a dead ball to create openings.

Best young player since Mbappe. I think the point with Vinicius is that he has started playing so well, so quick in a huge club. That is rare for young players.

As a comparison, maybe Dembele looked better in Rennes but he took a while to hit the ground running at Barcelona. Injuries and Valverde aside, Vinicius has just made it, straight away. The trust of Solari from Castilla too here has helped a lot too.

He will have an inevitable dip and people will question how good he will be (it happened with Ronaldo and Messi), but how he has seamlessly jumped from Brazil to Real Madrid is mightily impressive.
