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.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
