@theMadridZone then this is exactly the mentality Vini needs right now. No excuses, no blaming others take responsibility and fight your way back. Real Madrid backed you because they believe in your quality. Now it’s time to repay that trust on the pitch. We all want the old Vini back.
@theMadridZone 1000 goals is a remarkable personal milestone, but winning the Nations League should be about Portugal, not individual records. At this stage, the real test is whether your performances can still match the ambition.
@theMadridZone 10 more years? Cristiano, the retirement speech might arrive before the football does. Respect for everything you’ve achieved, but at some point even legends have to accept that the game moves on. 🐐⏳
@theMadridZone Gone are those days. The Cristiano we knew is no longer there. Age has caught up, and the game has moved on. Greatness deserves respect, but knowing when the time is up is part of greatness too.
Just look at him praying under the hot sun, right in the middle of his work. This is the beauty of Islam no matter how busy we are, we make time for Allah. Alhamdulillah 🤲🏾🤍
🤔 Carlo, there’s some irony here.
You’re saying Brazilian youngsters need regular minutes to mature but when you coached Real Madrid, Endrick was often waiting on the bench and finished the 2024/25 season with only around 500 minutes despite making 28 appearances.
So yes, young players need to play. But coaches also have to actually give them those minutes.
Mourinho can be convinced all he wants, but I’m no longer convinced by Vinícius.
This isn’t one bad game or a temporary dip anymore. The poor decisions, missed chances and inconsistency have become a pattern. The explosive, ruthless Vini we once feared feels like a distant memory.
Stop treating the old Vinícius as if he’s still on the pitch. Real Madrid cannot build its attack around nostalgia. If he wants that starting spot, he needs to earn it with performances not reputation.
@theMadridZone@diarioas If Mourinho keeps protecting the player instead of demanding the best from him, this becomes a problem for the whole team. Reputation cannot be bigger than performance.
Mourinho needs to stop living off the old Vinícius. Yes, Vini used to be capable of changing games by himself but we’re talking about what he is delivering right now.
He has the trust. He has the minutes. He has the freedom. He has every tool available to rediscover his form, yet the same problems keep showing up: missed chances, poor decisions and inconsistent performances.
Real Madrid cannot keep waiting for a version of Vini that may never return. Reputation should never guarantee a starting place. If another player is performing better, START HIM. The badge comes before any individual.
🚨 Even moving up from LAST to 11th in La Liga for sprinting isn’t exactly something to celebrate.
Real Madrid are covering 2,248 metres while sprinting per game 11th in La Liga, according to MARCA.
For a club demanding dominance, that should be a warning, not a relief. The issue is clear: the intensity, aggression and hunger are still nowhere near where they need to be.
Talent alone won’t fix that. Madrid need to RUN, PRESS and FIGHT like a team that actually wants to dominate.
🚨 This is the part that should worry every Madrid fan.
Real Madrid LAST for high-intensity distance. LAST for high-speed actions. 11th for sprints. Meanwhile, Barça are near the top in all three.
This isn’t just about tactics anymore it’s about intensity, aggression and hunger. You cannot dominate modern football while consistently being outrun by your opponents.
Mourinho needs to fix this immediately. Real Madrid must play with the physical intensity and hunger that the badge demands.
Mourinho needs to stop treating Vinícius like the player he used to be. He has already been given the trust, the minutes and every opportunity to rediscover that level but the performances simply aren’t there.
At some point, you have to stop waiting for the old Vini to magically return. Real Madrid cannot sacrifice the team just to protect one player’s status. If someone else is performing better, they deserve to start. Merit must come before reputation.
🙅🏽♂️ Yamal, being entertaining doesn’t automatically make you the best player. 😂
If goals, assists, consistency and decisive performances don’t matter, then what exactly are we rewarding? You can’t turn the Ballon d’Or into a popularity contest based on who makes people tune in.
The best player doesn’t just entertain he delivers when it matters.
So now they finally see the red card AFTER THE GAME. 🤦♂️
What an absolute joke. The referee missed it, VAR missed it, Real Madrid suffered the consequences, and only after the damage was done they suddenly admit: “clear and obvious mistake.”
What exactly is the point of VAR if it cannot intervene when it matters? You don’t give Real Madrid the points back, you don’t undo the damage, and you don’t change what happened on the pitch.
A red card after the final whistle is completely useless. The mistake wasn’t just made by the referee VAR had the replay and still failed to act.
At least they finally admitted what everyone could see. But Real Madrid needed that decision during the match, not in a report two days later.
