Vinicius Calls Ronaldo His Idol and Hopes to Win Like Him at Real Madrid
Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr has opened up about his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, revealing that he looks up to the Portuguese legend and hopes to achieve similar success at the club.
The Brazilian forward played a key role in Madrid’s 3-2 victory over Manchester City in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round-of-16 clash on Tuesday.
He was instrumental in Brahim Diaz’s late goal and provided the assist for Jude Bellingham’s stoppage-time winner, earning him UEFA’s Player of the Match award.
After the game, Vinicius shared that Ronaldo has been a major inspiration for him. He also acknowledged their strong relationship, saying he often speaks with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol. I talk to him a lot. Hopefully, I can win as many titles as he did at Real Madrid,” he said, as quoted by Madrid Xtra.
The 24-year-old, who was a standout performer in Madrid’s Champions League triumph last season, is determined to follow in Ronaldo’s footsteps and lead the club to more silverware.
Spain footballer Dani Olmo speaks on the final cup match and what really happened during the altercation that occurred.
The player shared in an interview “An individual who claims to be sorry but justifies a punch as a reaction to a comment is certainly not sincere in their apology, as they are deceiving themselves. I did not provoke him, so there is no need for him to apologize.”
He added “What truly characterizes us is not the error itself, but the bravery to admit it with humility, honesty, and dignity, especially when my children, my family, and all the fans are watching the game.”
Former Real Madrid player Karim Benzema shares his thoughts on the potential appointment of Zinedine Zidane as the new France manager, expressing his happiness for him.
He shared in a recent interview “Am I pleased that Zidane is the new coach of France? I cannot say for certain if it will be him, but if it is, YES, I AM TRULY HAPPY. He is a legend, he is like a big brother to me.”
While France has not yet confirmed their new manager, Zidane remains a strong candidate.
It has been reported that Liverpool turned down the opportunity to sign Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior.
It can be noted that two teams have set their sights on the player, and since Liverpool has backed out, Arsenal are now interested in him.
Vinícius notably only has one year left on his Real Madrid contract and could possibly transfer to another team.
