Real Madrid succumbed to Manchester City last Wednesday, the 17th, and Vini Jr did not hide his frustration with the negative result
vinicius jr left frustrated after the rout that the Real Madrid suffered for the manchester city at Champions League. The Brazilian arrived for last Wednesday’s clash, the 17th, at the Etihad Stadium as the possible great protagonist of the match, but Pep Guardiola did not give any chance to the striker. After the 4-0 suffered in England, the player made it clear that he hoped to leave with a place for the final.
In an interview for “TNT Sports”, Vinícius Jr showed a strong depression with the result of the match. The striker expected more from himself and also from the Real Madrid team. As much as he has 23 goals and 19 assists in the season, the star made a point of saying that he would trade all of them for a place in the Champions League final.
Everything I’ve done, not to win the Champions League, not to win the league, ends up being a little frustrating for me. But I want to keep evolving, increasing my numbers, but always for the benefit of the team. If the team doesn’t win… I would change all my goals, my assists to be in the final”, he vented.
Vini Jr also praised the way Manchester City played during their two Champions League semi-final clashes. The player recognized that the opponents of the previous phases, who were as good as the Cityzens, did not create great difficulties as Guardiola’s team did. Therefore, the frustration seemed to be even greater for the merengue striker.
“It is always difficult to reach the semifinals. We managed to arrive with a certain ease, against great teams. We were focused, we had confidence to arrive and win. But playing against City is very difficult, it’s a team that always has the ball and when we can’t impose our game rhythm from the first minute, it’s very difficult, and that happened“, he completed.
