The definitive explosion of Vinicius contrasts with the stagnation of Neymar. The numbers of the two Brazilian talents do not deceive. The one considered as the natural relay of the other already improves the data of his mirror. According to BeSoccer statistics, the Madrid player, 21, is much more decisive this season than the PSG player, 30.
Vinicius has accumulated 12 games so far this year, 10 completed, 920 minutes, 7 goals, 3 assists and 3 yellow cards. Five of his goals have come in LaLiga, while the other two were in the Champions League. He is the most decisive footballer of Madrid without discussion, after some complicated seasons in which his ability to face goal was questioned.
Neymar, for his part, is receiving strong criticism in Paris. Their numbers are considerably weaker. He has played 8 games, the full 8, in which he has only managed to score 1 goal and give 2 assists. In total they have been 675 minutes, which indicates once again the tendency of the extreme of the Parisian team by the injuries.
This improvement of one, in contrast to the decline of the other, has not been reflected in the Brazilian team. In the last break, Tite barely had Vinicius. He had 27 minutes against Venezuela and did not play against Colombia or Uruguay. Neymar, for his part, rested against Venezuela but was indisputable in the games against Colombia and Uruguay, against which he scored and gave two assists. In any case, the signals that Vinicius emits go beyond Brazil. His progression is so powerful that he is overshadowing one of his idols, Neymar.
