Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. has firmly rejected suggestions that the team is struggling to perform alongside summer signing Kylian Mbappe.
Speaking to reporters, the Brazilian winger addressed the external noise surrounding the club’s attacking dynamics. “People are saying the team is not playing well with Kylian Mbappe? People say a lot of things…” Vinicius said. “When there are a lot of great players, everyone talks about all of them.”
The 25-year-old, who has worn Real Madrid’s iconic number seven jersey since 2018, went on to praise his personal and professional bond with the French superstar. “I have an incredible connection on and off the pitch with him,” Vinicius stated. “We will battle and fight together for the club.” He added that Mbappe’s goal-scoring ability provides a crucial boost to the entire squad. “Kylian scores a lot, always gives us confidence. He is here to help.”
The remarks, originally reported by renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, emphasize Vinicius’s determination to silence doubters as Madrid pursues silverware on multiple fronts.
