Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior: Improving his Impact in the First 15 Minutes of Games
Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward, Vinicius Junior, has been a standout performer for the team this season. He has not only been the top scorer but has also contributed the most to the team’s goals. Vinicius has taken on a new level of responsibility this season and has been impressive in his performances. However, there is one area where the club has identified that he can improve, and that is his impact in the first 15 minutes of games.
According to a report by Relevo, Vinicius’ number of dribbles, goals, and assists in the opening 15 minutes of games is significantly lower than his averages. The Brazilian has struggled to impact games from the first minute and has not scored in the opening quarter of an hour since week four against Real Betis.
While this may seem like a minor point of improvement, it could make a significant difference both in terms of personal improvement and impact on the team’s results. Bringing up those numbers over the course of the season could help Vinicius continue his upward trajectory and contribute even more to the team’s success.
The fact that Real Madrid is working on improving such “minor” facets of Vinicius’ game speaks to his incredible ascension over the last 18 months. It was not too long ago that the Brazilian was considered to have major flaws in his game, but he has worked hard to address those weaknesses and become a key player for the team.
In the upcoming El Clasico against Barcelona, Vinicius has an opportunity to rise to the challenge posed by his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, and make an impact from the first minute of the game. Putting Barcelona behind early in the game could be a significant boost for Real Madrid and further cement Vinicius’ position as a star player for the team.
Overall, while Vinicius has already shown immense talent and potential, there is always room for improvement. By working on improving his impact in the first 15 minutes of games, he can continue to grow and become an even more valuable asset to Real Madrid.
