Vinicius Reveals Real Madrid Future Talks With Zidane
According to Vinicius Junior, Zinedine Zidane has urged him to be calm because he could enjoy a long career at Real Madrid.
Having arrived ahead of the 2018/19 season from Flamengo, the pacey winger is yet to cement a place in the Madrid line-up.
And disclosing his recent dialogue with Zidane, Vinicius revealed the French trainer has advised him take time on his career at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“Zidane always tells me to be relaxed and to keep growing because if I do so, and because I am so well treated by everybody, he says I'll be playing there for a long time," Vinicius told a news conference on Tuesday.
“Much like Marcelo and Casemiro, who have been there for a long time.
“When I was playing youth football, I did this a little and now I've come to play on the right at Real Madrid," he said.
When quizzed if he delights in playing on the right-side, the 19-year-old admitted though he struggles on the right-side as he shows the readiness to operate on either sides.
“I think it's important for me and for my career, so that I can play well on both sides.
“Of course, I find the right side more difficult as I'm not so used to playing like this, but I'm trying to improve day by day, at each training session with Real Madrid.
"The beginning of the season is also a bit difficult. New players always are tested and Real Madrid now have plenty of players," he said.
“We are playing more and Zidane always talks to all the players, he gives opportunities to all of us at the beginning, so that we can have a good season.”
Vincius Joined Real Madrid for a reported fee of €46 million as he made eighteen appearances with two goals for the side in the LaLiga last season.
