Carles Puyol Offers Insight on Vinícius Jr’s Attitude and Performance
Carles Puyol, a Barcelona legend, shared his thoughts on Vinícius Jr’s playing style and attitude, emphasizing the need for a change. Puyol commends Vinícius as a great player but suggests that an adjustment in his approach could earn him more recognition.
Despite the potential bias associated with discussing a Real Madrid player, Puyol’s observations hold merit. Vinícius Jr’s demeanor on the field has raised concerns, a trend that has persisted from the previous season. Notably, during El Clásico, Carlo Ancelotti had to intervene to separate him from on-field altercations.
In the recent match against Vallecano, it was Jude Bellingham who played peacemaker as Vinícius received yet another yellow card. Adding to these concerns, Vinícius’s goal and assist statistics this season have not shown significant improvement, with just three goals in 11 games and only one goal in his last seven appearances.
