‘Very humble, a great player’ – Real Madrid teammates Vinícius & Mbappé hail one another | OneFootball

Real Madrid stars Vinícius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé on Tuesday made use of the opportunity to lavish praise on one another.

As much came during an open training session held in Spain’s capital this morning.

Ahead of their post-Christmas return to the pitch against Valencia later this week, Real Madrid’s stars were this morning put through their paces by Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching staff once more.

The session, which took place at Valdebebas, was open to the public, giving rise to a large collection of Blancos supporters in the stands.

Making use of a rare opportunity to bring fans and players together, the media presence in attendance therefore pulled several members of Real’s star-studded squad in for interviews.

And it was during one such exchange that two of the headline members of the Spanish champions’ ranks were full of praise for one another.

First, asked what it has been like to play alongside Vinícius Jr. to date, Kylian Mbappé explained:

“Vinícius is very humble and everyone sees the quality he has.”

Upon the same question being posed to Viní, the Brazilian then went on to reply:

“Mbappé is a great player and a great person. He’s here to score a lot of goals. It’s very easy to play with him.”
