Real Madrid have invariably prided itself as one of the great melting pots of Europe, proving to be a hub of talents where generational superstars arrive to coexist.
Having owned an array of talents, the club proceeds to pay emphasis on establishing a clear succession ρłɑɴ for these players.
After one legєɴԀ concludes their reign of dominance, ρɾєρɑɾɑtions to develop the next big thing in line begin.
Vinicius Jr is one of the bright young prospects who has elevated into an indispensable figure for the club.
Despite arriving as a young boy from Brazil, he has taken the mantle of Madrid’s most influential forward.
Speaking in a recent interview, he shed light on his symbolic status with the Merengues.
After witnessing the legєɴԀary Cristiano Ronaldo torment opposition for the Royal Whites, his iconic number 7 jersey now remains in Vincius’ care.
“I’m very happy and proud to be chosen to wear the number 7, the number of Cristiano, Juanito. I am very happy,”said the Brazilian.
Aiming to emulate the iconic moments that are now etched into the memories of every football fan, Vinicius carries significant weight on his shoulders.
But, if his past is anything to go by, he will fight relentlessly to repay the favor toReal Madrid.
Cristiano’s era atReal Madridis still reminisced fondly to this day. Sharing words of appreciation for the man that popularized the jersey that Vinicius now dons, he spoke of his love for the Portuguese icon.
Vincicius expressed,”I am inspired by Cristiano because I have seen him from his first game to his last and he has marked an era in this club.”
Both players share a great Ԁєɑł of similarities in their role, but having seen the sheer dominance Cristiano once displayed at Madrid, Vinicius knows he has a long road ahead of him before he can truly mirror Ronaldo’s supremacy with the seven.
