Vinicius has often been seen showing his emotions on the pitch - a trait that has positively impacted on his performances. Sami Khedira, who enjoyed a decorated career with Real Madrid, believes the Brazilian winger possesses unmatched talent but must adopt a more composed and respectful approach to help propel him to the next level and the greatest players ever.
Getty ImagesWHAT NEXT FOR VINICIUS?
After receieving treatment for an arm injury, Vinicius is expected to return to Real Madrid’s line-up in their upcoming Champions League clash against Atalanta on Tuesday. His recovery marks a crucial moment for the Spanish giants as they look to capitalise on his explosive abilities after picking up just six points from the first five matches in the group stage, which see them placed in 24th spot in the standings.
