Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso commented on the role of Vinicius Junior in the team ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final match against Atletico. Alonso praised the forward’s importance and his contribution to the club.
" We need wine in its most beautiful form, in order to eliminate satisfaction from the game. When you work, it gives us a spark. It's our responsibility to know him. This is a fundamental step for us,” said Alonso.
These words from the coach came after Vinicius was booed by Real Madrid fans just before the substitution hour in the Spanish Championship match against Betis (5:1). Alonso called on him to encourage the Brazilian winger and recognize his importance for the team.
