There is one man that can make this team a lot better, some people believe he\u2019s overrated and doesn\u2019t deserve to be known as the next Ronaldo, others believe he is one of the best young footballers in the world! Vinicius Junior! He doesn\u2019t get much first team action like he should, but he is Real Madrid\u2019s rising star! Vinicius could be there answer to their winger problems! Brazilian masterclass from Flamengo has a bright future ahead of him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8429\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8429\" class=\"wp-image-8429 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_728414482-300x142.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_728414482-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_728414482-768x362.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_728414482-624x295.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_728414482-750x354.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_728414482.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8429\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Editorial credit: \/ Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Vinicius Junior was born on the 12th July 2000, making him only 18 years old and has already got a contract with one of the biggest clubs in the world! He started his career at the age of 5 and played in the Flamengo Youth team until he was 17 and then moved to the first team, before getting transferred to Real Madrid in 2018! He has shown great potential. Overrated isn\u2019t true at all, he&#8217;s underrated because he doesn\u2019t get much game time with the first team! He deserves to be in the first team and can provide great passes and movement. He has a bright future and could go on to be like Neymar or Ronaldinho!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8430\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8430\" class=\"wp-image-8430 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_701540245-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_701540245-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_701540245-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_701540245-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_701540245-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/01\/shutterstock_701540245.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vinicius J\u00fanior<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s no secret Real Madrid have been slacking all this time and haven&#8217;t been at there full potential since they sold Cristiano Ronaldo for \u00a399m, however they have started to pick up the pace a little bit, now currently 3rd in the league and could challenge Barcelona for the title very soon!
