00:00 What is clear is that the evolution, the progression of Vinicius Jr.

00:04 in recent times has been meteoric.

00:08 Because when he arrived in Madrid, he was questioned a lot,

00:12 there were many doubts, and he was able to have a very big evolution.

00:18 So, of course, he is a very young player with a great future.

00:23 So, I still believe that we are to see the best of Vinicius Jr.

00:28 So, he is a player who, with the years he has, has a lot to progress, to improve.

00:34 And the facet of a striker, maybe, because in the last matches

00:39 he got used to stepping in the area, scoring goals,

00:43 this is fundamental for a player.

00:45 So, you can see the confidence, you can also see Ancelotti's work

00:50 when it comes to working on the self-esteem and confidence of this footballer.

00:54 But what is clear is that he has a great future

00:58 and it is difficult to say right now how far he can go.

01:01 Hopefully, he can fight with Neymar,

01:04 fight with Neymar to be among the great footballers in Brazil.

01:09 And this principle, what we have seen as evolution, as progression,

01:14 makes us think that if he continues on this path,

01:17 he could have a very high level sporting performance in the next years.

01:23 He has a life and a team with Real Madrid,

01:27 with the pressure he has, with the demand he has,

01:30 that such a young player is able to do what Vinicius is doing,

01:34 makes us think that he could go very, very far.
