Vinicius Junior He has returned to preseason training this week. Along with him have done the other two players of the Brazilian team, Militao Y Casemiro, who disputed the Cup America until last July 10, when they were defeated before Argentina (1-0) in the final. The three of them have finished their vacations and have made themselves available to Ancelotti, the midfielder being the only one who coincided with the Italian during his first stage.
It has been an important summer for Vinicius, who started in style when Tite decided to summon him for the South American continental tournament. However, his involvement with the Canarinha it was not what was expected: he barely played 64 minutes in the seven games his team played (He saw three of them complete from the bench), time in which he was not able to show his best level. This has reawakened rumors of a possible sale, taking into account the many suitors that the Brazilian jewel has and the presumable arrival of Mbappe at the end of August. PSG or United they have appeared in different international media as main stakeholders.
New property in Madrid
Despite the media buzz it generates, Vinicius only thinks about Madrid. His idea continues to be to settle in the white team and at no time has he contemplated changing teams in this market, so he ignores the rumors of departure that have become common in recent summers. In fact, a house has been bought in the exclusive urbanization of La Moraleja. It is currently under construction, but it is the place where he expects to live for many years and where he will move once the construction is complete. The Brazilian's plan agrees with that of the club, which continues to speak of the 21-year-old as a fundamental footballer in the short, medium and long term. At the White House there is little doubt that he will soon be a benchmark player if he maintains his progression.
After Lopetegui, Solari Y Zidane, now it will be Ancelotti the one in charge of looking for the best version of Vinicius. Together they must leave behind that irregularity that has weighed down their image in recent times, in addition to improving in his great must: the goal. Last season, under the orders of Zizou, ended with 2,722 minutes disputed in which he marked six goals and gave seven assists.
Vini, like his team mates, it will be difficult to reappear in the next friendly of Madrid against Milan, which will be played on Sunday (18:30) in Austria. The question is whether they will make it to the league debut in time. Mendizorroza against him Alaves next August 14 (22:00). For the next two weeks you will work piecemeal to be available if Carletto you need it.
