Vinicius Jr said he has never imagined himself outside Real Madrid and wants to stay there his whole life. He described his role as a captain as important and said he takes advantage of every minute at the club of his dreams. He stated that he and Real Madrid must speak with each other, and that both sides are calm. He said the president trusts him and he trusts the president, and that they will wait. He also acknowledged a difficult season in which Real Madrid started well but lost and drew matches they should have won, leading to a lack of confidence and momentum for Barcelona. He said Real Madrid always returns and that the team has to win next year, while pointing to squad experience issues due to absences of key players.
"“I have never imagined myself outside Real Madrid. I take advantage of every minute I am here because it is the club of my dreams. “Now I am one of the captains, and that is very important. I want to stay here my whole life. I have to speak with Madrid and Madrid has to speak with me. The club is calm and I am calm. The president trusts me and I trust him. We will wait.”"
"“It has been a very difficult season,” he said. “We started well, ahead of Barcelona, but then we began to lose and draw matches we should have won. We lost confidence and Barcelona gained momentum. It is the first time I have gone two seasons without winning. We failed. We have a team to win next year. Real Madrid always comes back.”"
"Vinicius' words are sure to spark an element of concern at the Santiago Bernabeu, especially at the end of such a disappointing season for the club and ahead of a predicted summer of change. The 25-year-old had a very public falling out with coach Xabi Alonso before he was sacked in January, as Madrid ended without silverware for the second year on the trot."
"There have also been endless rumours around a lack of harmony in the dressing room, culminating in the fracas between Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni that left the former in hospital. Vinicius Jr highlighted a lack of experience in the squad as one contributing factor."
