When the youngster came into the club, it was promised that he wouldn't be rushed into action. They were going to give him enough time to develop his game and watched as he grows from strength to strength. However, that has not been the case. Vinicius is now made to shoulder the burden that was originally meant for the players.
When Cristiano Ronaldo left, they said his departure would pave way for Karim Benzema. Marco Asensio and Gareth Bale to prove their worth and it was in the latest that most of the faith was based. Fast forward to months after. The trio have fallen short of the expectations. Gareth bale spends more time recuperating from injuries then playing on the pitch and Marco Asensio has not lived up to the spotlight at many thought would come out naturally with more playing time. Of the trio, only Benzema has shown some measure of consistency, which by the way is still below compared to what Ronaldo used to bring to the table.
The young Vinicius, with amazing pace and skills has been drawn to the forefront and immediately captured the heart of fans. However, he's only 18 and still has many areas to work on with shooting not the least. Against Barcelona, last Classico, he had six shots and none on target, a testimony of his form in front of goal.
