Real Madrid hopes that its Brazilian star Vinicius Junior returns to its previous level in the Club World Cup, after its performance declined during last season’s 2024-2025 competitions.
The Spanish newspaper “Marca” reported that Vinceos will play the World Cup clubs and his eyes to achieve two important goals, which are to restore his best technical levels and Real Madrid leadership to crown the global title.
The newspaper believes that despite the “striking” individual numbers (scored 21 goals and made 18 in 52 games in all championships), his season was not the best.
The entry of Vinicius to the pitch was a nightmare for the competing teams thanks to his dribbling, speed and deadly passes, but that seems to be “an artistic spark that extinguished in light of the increasing doubts about the player and the criticism of the press and the fans of it, along with the lack of harmony with the arrivals, Killian Mbappe, all of which have greatly summarized the reasons for Real Madrid’s failure to crown major titles.”
But Vinicius, 24, seems to be determined to erase this faded image, as he said in statements after the first training session for Real in the American city of Miami, “We have a strong desire to win the first world cup (in its expanded form).”

“We look forward to winning the first title in the Club World Cup because people never forget the first title, and Real Madrid wants to win it. We will strive to achieve this,” he added.
Marca explained these words as a motivation message from Vinicius to his teammates, and said, “This is the essence of the story, the Club World Cup is the last incomplete piece in the royal clubs, and the entire team stimulates to complete its legendary group of championships.”
“The championship is a valuable opportunity for Vinicius to demonstrate the world and for himself that he did not lose anything from his level, but last season was a pride for the rise and return of strongly.”
Vinicius will have to restore his usual level with a new coach, Xabi Alonso, after the departure of Italian Carlo Ancelotti to Brazil, a man who “believed in him and gave him freedom of creativity, and even support and support him in difficult times and stood by him in the face of criticism,” which the player recognized in his impressive farewell message “You have always been protecting me.”
In the first meeting between them, Vinicius and Chabae did not exchange “magic promises”, but rather agreed to work hard to rebuild Real Madrid after the difficult season.
“We are training strongly and preparing for the matches. I had spoken to the coach before and I am very happy, and now we have to continue working to win a lot with him,” Veniceus said.
