Xabi Alonso expects Vinicius Junior to regain form and be a crucial player for Real Madrid after being left on the bench for the club's second LaLiga match. Vinicius started the 1-0 win over Osasuna but was ineffective and was benched for the 3-0 victory at Real Oviedo, where he impressed as a substitute. Alonso did not confirm whether Vinicius will start against Mallorca. Vinicius played 52 games last season with 21 goals and has been rested by Brazil for upcoming World Cup qualifiers. LaLiga filed a complaint against Oviedo after racial abuse aimed at Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe.
I'm very happy with Vini. Against Oviedo, he showed he can have a big impact off the bench,
In a locker room, the key is that everyone is willing to contribute, whether on the pitch or off it... and he's going to be crucial. Truly believing in this is fundamental, and everyone here does. What I want is for him to have a fantastic season. We're just starting, everyone is important and for everything he's done for Madrid and for everything we want him to do this season, he's going to be a crucial player.
Our dressing room has 25 players from the first team and some who have come from the Castilla team,
The most important thing is the feeling of the team, that everyone feels that they are there to contribute, that they will have their moment.
