Vinicius Junior makes promise to Real Madrid fans after Elche draw

Vinicius Junior makes promise to Real Madrid fans after Elche draw There is no doubt that Vinicius Junior is one of the biggest stars in European football and in this star-studded Real Madrid team. He has already written his name in the history of the Merengue club, and their fans were rightly worried when he was being linked with a move to Arsenal, before he ultimately signed a new contract with Los Blancos, during the last summer transfer window. However, it is also quite clear that the Brazilian has not been at his best level for the last few seasons. There was optimism that his form would improve with the arrival of Jose Mourinho and with his future now significantly certain, but this has not turned out to be the case so far in this early stage of the new season. He was particularly sluggish last night as Real Madrid faced Elche away from home . He got several opportunities to score a goal, but was unable to take advantage of any of them. In fact, as Mundo Deportivo has noted, the winger himself took to his social media to regret these missed chances, but assured the fans that goals will return soon: “The goals will come back… I can’t miss that many. There’s another one on Sunday. Hala Madrid!” As Vinicius highlighted in his message, the Merengues have another big game awaiting them this weekend, i.e., the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid. The Brazilian forward has quite an interesting rivalry with the Colchoneros, but it remains to be seen whether the prospect of facing his hated rivals would drive him to significantly improve his game. As things stand, Vinicius Junior has scored only one goal in his seven appearances for Real Madrid so far this season. He has been decisive in other ways, like with the three assists he has given, or the penalty that he won in the last moments of the game against Real Betis, which was ultimately missed by Kylian Mbappe, or his defensive contributions against Inter Milan, but goals are conspicuously missing from his game, and hopefully, he will improve in this aspect as soon as possible.
