Vinicius Junior Eager to Embrace New Responsibilities at Real Madrid

Karim Benzema’s departure from Real Madrid has created a void in the squad that manager Carlo Ancelotti is yet to fill in the transfer market. The departure of the experienced striker has opened up opportunities for other players to step up and take on important roles, and one player eager to do so is Vinicius Junior.

With Benzema’s move to Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, Real Madrid bid farewell to their long-time penalty taker. Vinicius Junior, who stepped up as the team’s talisman last season during Benzema’s injury struggles, now desires to take on the responsibility of becoming the new penalty taker.

Throughout last season, the 22-year-old Brazilian showcased his potential and played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s success. Having taken only two penalties in his career so far, Vinicius already found the back of the net for Brazil during a friendly against Guinea earlier this summer.

With Benzema’s departure, Vinicius sees an opportunity to step up and contribute even more to the team’s success. As the new season approaches, Los Blancos will rely on his exceptional skills and desire to embrace new responsibilities as they seek to fill the void left by their former striker.
