No thread bump for the Champions League winner's best player and should be current favourite for the Ballon D'or unless Bellingham PR campaign steals it from him.
Or Mbappe has a massive Euros. At the moment, he should be the favoriteNo thread bump for the Champions League winner's best player and should be current favourite for the Ballon D'or unless Bellingham PR campaign steals it from him.
He is massively underrated and I hope he wins Ballon d’Or. Brilliant playerNo thread bump for the Champions League winner's best player and should be current favourite for the Ballon D'or unless Bellingham PR campaign steals it from him.
Mourinho made this point post-game. Said his sights for the area there or thereabouts the goal has shown enormous improvement and that before, he didn't have that eye for the goal area, which I think means at least making the keeper work or that his misses now are so narrow and almost goals.Remember when he was known as a serial bottler and Benzema told his team mates not to pass to Vinicius? Very remarkable development.
He should be the favorite for the Ballon d'Or right now. Kroos and Bellingham could still get infront of him if Germany/England win the EC and Brazil does not win the Copa. Every other candidate (those who won domestic titles) would need to have a truly standout performance at the EC/CA.
What’s his record in knockout stages of the CL now? Feels like he’s always scoring in the deep stages for Madrid now.
The assist for the first goalIt was reported that he was ill as well
Can’t find a gif, but that one dribble where he gets past Hummels and then nutmegs the other Dortmund defender. Brilliant.
Not sure he's simple. In fact, he definitely isn't. He constantly gives markers different looks, different angles and constant turns of speed as and when he feels like. He goes outside and to the byline: he cuts inside; he passes and he shoots all in one flowing movement. Worst of all for opponents is he gets better and better as they tire and mentally fatigue.A very simple but deadly and effective player.
I have never seen him go backwards with a football.
Very impressive. As you say, still some way to go before he hits routine hat-tricks against Simeone’s Atletico or Juventus every season, but he has really stepped it up. Inevitability about him like Fortitude says.Involved in 22 goals in the KO stage: 11 goals and 11 assists. Before turning 24 and scoring in two finals also before turning 24. New record apparently.
At this rate he’ll surpass both Ronaldo and Messi’s goal tally in the CL. Still a long way to go but incredible nonetheless.
I think he's brilliant to watch, he's a flair player that has the productivity element and delivers on the big stage. I can see why you paid a big outlay for him initially.Involved in 22 goals in the KO stage: 11 goals and 11 assists. Before turning 24 and scoring in two finals also before turning 24.

It's been a common trend for Brazilian attackers to fade away after a few years on top. Let's see if he can break this trend.Involved in 22 goals in the KO stage: 11 goals and 11 assists. Before turning 24 and scoring in two finals also before turning 24. New record apparently.

I wonder if we'll see him in the Premier League one day. He'd be so exciting to watch week-in week-out.
We see diving every week from players like Paqueta, so I can't imagine we'll be too rattled by Vinicius. This isn't 1995.He will be so disliked by every fan not supporting his club and every pundit. The manners and the diving will see to that. He would absolutely destroy right backs on a weekly base and receive a lot of kicks from players who were made look stupid. I doubt referees would protect him much...

Vinicius, is not a flair dribbler like Neymar or Messi, doesn't do step overs like Ronaldo but he's extremely direct and simple.Not sure he's simple. In fact, he definitely isn't. He constantly gives markers different looks, different angles and constant turns of speed as and when he feels like. He goes outside and to the byline: he cuts inside; he passes and he shoots all in one flowing movement. Worst of all for opponents is he gets better and better as they tire and mentally fatigue.
He's got to be the hardest winger in the world to contain or plan for.
…..OK.Vinicius, is not a flair dribbler like Neymar or Messi, doesn't do step overs like Ronaldo but he's extremely direct and simple.
His biggest asset has been pace but now his decision making is on par with KDB that combination alone is what makes his very hard to contain.
The different looks, angles, turn of speed, cutting inside, going to the by line is nothing spectacular if not done at the right time.
Then now he believes in his abilities, he knows not many defenders can outpace him. So mentally he knows he's better than the rest.
Now, Add his pace, decision making and the mental belief that he's better than you = to disaster for you as a defender
As someone said on this thread, Vinicius is what Rashford thinks he is.
Pace - Rashford and Vini probably on the same level. Everything else Vini is a tier above Rashy by some mile.
Gone are the days.Love how easily he controls the ball. Those 60 yard cross field pings from the back and he just takes it down so smoothly.
Quality player, would love him at Utd.
Unpopular Opinion: Flair is to compensate for a lack of technical dribbling skills.Messi is probably the best dribbler of all time, but he is not a flair dribbler, he doesn't really do tricks.

Agree. As would Neymar, Garrincha, Maradona, Denilson and all the great dribblers in the game.Ronaldinho wouldnt agree. Flair players just remember that they once started to play football because it is fun.
Yeah he's relentless. And he is absolutely devastating off the ball as well, so defenders can't ever drop focus on him for an instantNot sure he's simple. In fact, he definitely isn't. He constantly gives markers different looks, different angles and constant turns of speed as and when he feels like.
