“They’ve found a place for him and he’s gaining the confidence to play every week. I think he’s a good player. You need more time to reach consistency. It’s better to let him work and that potential should also to correct his deficiencies. Football only allows extremes. Either you are bad or you are good. Yesterday we saw that he was better than Raúl and Raúl picked up an important career “, said Míchel.

“What makes Vinícius great is his price. The pressure is the price. I don’t know if any other player had those chances. People pay less attention to the passport and more to the price. When he arrived, they thought he was the new Mbappé, Neymar, Raúl … So far he is more of a starter, but until yesterday’s game he had difficulties to be one “, he added.
