Vinícius Jr. has never shied away from expressing his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, and now he’s revealed one of the most valuable lessons he’s ever received. As the true successor to Real Madrid’s iconic number 7, following the forgettable stints of Mariano and Hazard, Vinícius continues to carry the legacy forward with confidence and flair.

In a recent interview with DAZN, the Brazilian star reflected on a game-changing tip Ronaldo once shared with him: "I always remember the advice Cristiano gave me. He told me that scoring a goal is very easy—but I never believed it. Then I started thinking about it more, and it brought me calm during matches. His experience had a big impact on me. He said that when you're one-on-one with the goalkeeper, that's actually the easiest moment in the game."

That mindset shift has clearly paid off. Since embracing that advice, Vinícius has grown into one of the most lethal attackers in world football, shedding any doubts about his finishing ability. Calm, confident, and clinical in front of goal, he’s now one of the biggest threats to any defense and a player Cristiano Ronaldo would surely be proud of.
