Vinicius Junior spoke to Movistar+ after the heavy win over Monaco and left a clear message: Real Madrid’s style of play directly influences his best version. “We started very focused, moving the ball from side to side. That way I can get on the ball a lot, and that's the best thing for me,” he explained. The Brazilian linked his strong performance to a more fluid and proactive team, a context in which he feels comfortable and decisive.

The winger openly addressed his recent personal difficulties. He admitted that the last few days have been “very difficult because of the boos” and the constant noise surrounding him and his teammates. “I'm always in the spotlight, and I don't want to be because of things off the pitch. I want to be remembered for what I've done for this club,” he said. Vinicius accepted the pressure that comes with playing for Real Madrid and made a firm promise: “I have to give it my all every day. I try to give everything for this shirt and for a club that has given me so much.”

He also highlighted the importance of his teammates and the fans. Vinicius stressed how easy it is to play alongside Mbappé and the rest of the attack and called for unity in the decisive phase of the season. “At home, we need the support of our fans so that everything can return to normal. We want to win, and so do they. If we stick together, this season will go better,” he said, aiming to heal recent tensions at the Bernabéu.

Speaking about his goal, Vinicius described it as a release. “It was a really beautiful moment. I had provided a lot of assists and everyone was telling me I had to score,” he explained. He placed special value on the trust inside the dressing room: “We're a family. With the confidence of my teammates and by giving our best, we're going to win a lot of things this season.” His words reflected commitment, pride, and ambition after a perfect night.

Vinicius then opened up on a more personal level. He admitted that recent events had affected him deeply, including the coaching change, the defeat in the final, and the Cup elimination. “Playing for the biggest club in the world is very complicated; the demands are extremely high,” he said, before adding something he rarely expresses: “I’m human too.” He acknowledged that the boos at the Bernabéu hurt him the most. “I don’t want to be booed at home, where I feel very comfortable. In the last few matches, I didn’t feel comfortable because every time I did something wrong, I was booed.” While he accepted criticism as part of the profession, noting that “they pay a very high price for this,” he made his position clear: “I know my potential, I know how far I can go. I’m here to keep improving and always fight for this club.”

He rejected any blame for the manager’s departure and defined himself by his daily effort. “I won't always be at my technical best, but I've always given my all. If others are lacking goals, I try to assist; if I have to defend, I try to defend.” Vinicius pointed to the support of his family, the dressing room, and those closest to him, and sent a calm message about his future. “I have one more year on my contract. I trust the president, he trusts me, and there's no rush.” He closed with a thought that sums up his mindset: he wants to stay at Real Madrid for many years and hopes this will be his season, “to provide assists, play happily, and score goals.”
