The shape of him
An explosive winger with exceptional acceleration, close control, and one-on-one ability. In LaLiga, Vinícius Júnior stretches defences, beats opponents off the dribble, and creates goals through direct runs and sharp finishing.
The job
At Real Madrid, he attacks primarily from the left, isolates defenders, drives into the box, and creates chances through dribbling and combinations. His pace makes him especially dangerous in transition.
