It was the 55th minute of Real Madrid-Getafe and the scoreboard did not move from the initial 0-0. Zinedine Zidane brainstormed ideas to unblock his team, unable to generate danger in the Soria. The Frenchman's solution was to remove Vinicius to enter Sergio Arribas. The electronic board showed the Brazilian's number but after several moments of doubt, the substituted player was finally Marvin. “The idea was to remove Vinicius but there was a change of plans because Marvin he hurt himself ”, the French coach confessed at the press conference.
So things, Zinedine Zidane improvised changing to Vinicius of band and of roll, happening the Brazilian to exert of left extreme to right lane. The change of shore could not sit better MadridWell, five minutes after the ex of Flamengo put a great center so that Karim Benzema, alone in the area, will connect an unappealable header to open the can and put the victory on track against him Getafe.
Sacrificed in defense to close his band, right in the ball exit and providing depth on the right, Vinicius starred in a very complete second part. Sometimes, as is usual for him, he rushed into decision-making or failed in execution, which explains why he was the player of the Madrid who lost the most balls (21). In return, he was the player with the most anticipations (2) and the one who received the most fouls (5).
Vinicius gave Benzema a goal assist against Getafe
The system change employed by the Madrid, waiting for more suitable pieces to be recovered to exercise in the right-handed lane (case of Luke or Carvajal), gave wings to a Vinicius more than two months ago (since the game against him Seville on December 5) that he did not play the 90 minutes.
In a phase of the season where the white team accumulates many casualties, the step to the front of Vinicius can be a strong argument for Zinedine Zidane bet on it more regularly.
