He told AS: "Vini has spectacular conditions, but I think the goal pressure is coming on him. It is true that in Brazil he scored a lot of goals, but the difference between Brazilian and European football is clear.

"He can be an important player if he focuses. In the conditions he has, they are very good, such as acceleration and speed. You have to demand goals from him because in Madrid everyone is obliged to score, but you have to remember that Vinicius is not a normal scorer nor does he have the ease that, for example Rodrygo has, who is in his age range but is more gifted in finishing."
