Data won t lie! Vinicius s performance is sluggish and becomes a black hole in Real Madrid s offensive

In Real Madrid's difficult victory over Real Sociedad, when the team was forced to turn to a punctual due to a red card, head coach Xavi Alonso made a key substitution - replacing forward Vinicius with a defender. The

broadcast footage captured the Brazilian's reaction when he left the scene: angry, confused, and muttering. This scene fully reflects Vinicius' struggles and confusion this season.

Once upon a time, he was the main force under Ancelotti. But now, under Alonso's iron fist rule of "whoever deserves it will play", this Brazilian genius is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of trust.

Disaster-level performance

Judging from the data, there is no problem with Alonso's substitution this time. In that game, Vinicius' performance was a disaster.

The success rate of passes is only 72%

0 shots, 0 accurate crosses, 0 7 passes, only 3 times, lost the ball 13 times,

When the team needs to compete in bayonets, he cannot contribute on both offense and defense. Compared to Mbappe who perfectly executes the coach's intentions, Vinicius plays like a headless fly. Rely on personal abilities to play, rather than integrating into the team's tactical system. Behind the conflict between the concepts of the two head coaches is the fundamental difference in the concepts of the two head coaches.

Ancelotti's philosophy is to give the greatest trust to the core players. Even if they are in poor condition, they will stay on the court to find a feeling. Under An Shuai, Vinicius is the favorite of all the favors.

and Alonso is a very demanding system coach. He asked everyone to execute tactics as precisely as a machine, especially oppression when there was no ball. Vinicius's lack of concentration on the defensive end made him the most frequently point-and-correct player in the game. In Alonso's eyes, no one is irreplaceable, and everyone is a tactical pawn.

The Champions League is the last redemption

Since missing the Golden Ball Award last season, Vinicius' form has been declining and has not yet recovered its peak. Now, his contract renewal is still unresolved. Under Alonso's new role, he seems very confused and uncomfortable.

His Brazilian teammate Rodrigo has returned to the left where he is better at. This means that Vinicius will face more direct competition, and his playing time is likely to be further compressed.

Now, the Champions League is coming. For the struggling Vinicius, this is both a bigger stage and a more severe test. Can he prove himself again on this wider venue? This may be his last chance to save himself.
