Mutual trust with Florentino Perez
Vinicius highlighted the mutual trust that exists with the club’s board, insisting that the priority right now is simply to keep enjoying the day-to-day life at the Madrid side. The relationship between the player and club president Florentino Perez has always been described as excellent, and he was keen to reinforce that bond during his recent media appearance. “Madrid are calm, I’m calm. The president trusts me, and I trust him,” said the attacker.
Pride in the captaincy
Vinicius has established himself as one of the leaders in Madrid’s dressing column, an achievement he values deeply. Following the departures of several veteran figures in recent seasons, the Brazilian has stepped up to take on more responsibility both on and off the pitch.
This promotion within the squad hierarchy further cements his status as a pillar of the team. For Vinicius, wearing the armband represents a significant milestone in a journey that began when he first arrived from Flamengo as an eighteen-year-old. “Now I’m one of the team captains. Despite being so young, it’s something important that happens very rarely,” he admitted.

I want to stay here my whole life,” he declared.
