‘Explosive’ Vinicius Wanted Back by Mourinho

Sports Desk: Real Madrid has no shortage of stars in attack, but Jose Mourinho is unable to find the ‘killer’ Vinicius Junior who has twisted the opponent. Real face Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Saturday as they try to balance a star-studded XI featuring Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. And the Portuguese mastermind has called on Vinicius, who has been a shadow of his best form before this match, to return to his old destructive form.

Whether it’s scoring the winning goal in the 2022 Champions League final or again pulling off a goal difference in the 2024 final – Vinicius Junior is one of the greatest architects of modern Real Madrid history.

However, keeping the overall balance of the team with Mbappe and Bellingham on the same board has become a real challenge for Real. Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso or Alvaro Arbeloa – none of them have been able to find a solution to this problem. As a result, they have had to leave the Bernabeu one by one in the last two seasons.

To tie the star-studded event together, the Real Madrid administration has brought veteran coach Jose Mourinho back to the dugout. The Portuguese coach has admitted that the task is difficult, but he will find a solution.

Vinicius was booed by the fans in the stands when he was taken off in the last match against Inter Milan. However, Mourinho stood by the Brazilian star. He said: “He is not in the best form right now, we can all see that. But he is working tirelessly to get back to his best. On his day, Vinicius has the ability to finish matches single-handedly.”

Real Madrid suffered a shock defeat to Real Betis in La Liga last week. Mourinho and his men are looking for nothing less than a win against Rayo Vallecano today to stay in the points race with arch-rivals Barcelona.
