Why Vinicius 'still has a long way to go' before becoming superstar? Answered by Madrid fan
"Vinicius has all the skills that a winger would need to be a superstar. He's a fast paced dribbler with decent shooting and passing, and he has the creativity to make plays necessary at all times", some Madrid fan nicknamed Kaka wrote on Reddit.
However, there's one thing that's holding him back from reaching full potential - his ✨mentality✨, the fan insists.
"He's very easily rattled, all La Liga teams realized that if you play hard physical defense on him he's going to be off mentally and he'll be a far less threatening option. He gets more engaged with the fouls he thinks he should get than with the flow of the game, and since he's our most dangerous attacker it messes up the whole team's offense.
He needs to understand that this will always be the case for players of his mold : Ronaldinho, Neymar, CR7 when he used to play LW, Messi, all these players were getting ragdolled by defenses and they all understand that it comes with the playstyle that you have and you shouldn't let it get into your head.
Carlo seriously needs to work on it with him because he's very prone to being mentally off every time the games get rough."
