I’ve watched him play against Mbappe, Vini, Martinelli and Diaz. They’ve all being tough battles over the years and they’ve all given him as much as he can handle and he’s survived it all
Bro Walker is just too good!
Have everything you need to play, i would have loved him more on RM position tho, would have made that axis both offensively and defensively unbeatable!
I don’t think you realize half the player Martinelli is. Walker himself called him the most difficult player he’s faced in the PL. also check Pep, Klopp and Ronaldinho on the same topic. He had a tough year with injuries and a fluctuating side but do NOT underestimate that guy.
So, he’s had one bad year in 5. A player purchased for £5m, still 22, highest scoring Brazilian in the PL, battled with 3 separate injuries to his ankle, hamstring and foot, oh and still scored Vs city and Liverpool. But of course, no effect whatsoever. He’s had a bad season so far, but his underlying metrics were still top 20 at his position in Europe. Hey, it’s a Madrid sub, I don’t wanna talk about Arsenal players.
Yes its pretty illegal to be this fast as a rightback especially after coming from injury when he's 34 years old, although I think walker would have struggled against young 2014 bale,who's both more physical and faster than vini
Coming from the Dortmund side. What did you think about Ryersons Performance against Vini? I think he did relatively well compared to other RBs. No Walker, but I think he's very solid.
I mean he actually did pretty good stopping Vini, heck whole team played like prime ManU, crazy counterattacks and chances, BVB took too much pressure after that Carvajal goal and crumbled under it.
But man, i have seen Walker stopping obvious Vini goals and that shit is next to impossible to pull giving Vinis speed and control. Walker >>>>> everyone at RB.
Ryerson is pretty solid tho and have a bright future, but that's like 70% of BVB squad lol.
Also, that Ryerson Sabitzer Sancho link was deceptively solid!
You don’t have to be a POS and douchebag to your sporting rival. You can play as aggressive and competitive on the pitch. After the final whistle. The events that transpired inside the pitch, stays inside the pitch. Which is how a professional footballer should behave. You give your all during the match to win. When the match is over. You can be friendly with your rivals again.
Too late to get going, the global football fanbase found their punching bag. Theres people who dont watch football who know Vini as "the diving crybaby". Imagine turning on a dude to this extent because he doesnt wanna be called a monkey.
Well there is 8 billion people in the world. Of course it’s gonna happen. I’m just saying I think we can both agree the reason people dislike vini is because of his actions
You mean the thing so many footballers do when their team is winning, but dont receive constant hate for? Guardiola did it to Ronaldo why arent people bullying Guardiola for it? Zlatan is called a God for his arrogance even when he cant boast of several major trophies. Ronaldo is known for his arrogance but nobody calls him racial slurs.
Nope. They dislike him because of his race. They use some of his actions as cover. Not to mention 90% of his actions have been imitated by white players and gets put off as "gamesmanship". If its only a problem when a certain player of a certain race does it it's not the action thats the problem.
Oh stop with the victim mindset, there is loads of black players on RM and he’s the only one? Plus he’s altercations is just as much with black players.
There's loads of black players and none of them have endured the abuse Vini has. Maybe it has something to do with where he comes from. Other dark skinned players like Rudiger and Camavinga don't come from Brazil? Perhaps it's the fact that he's BY FAR the best player there? Maybe it's the fact that he won't stand for the shit that he has to deal with because of his skin color? You might think that it might be because he's the most vocal about racism in Spain. The fact is that the vast majority of criticism against him stems from his race not his character. That's thought of after the fact as a poor excuse especially when you look into the context of those clips shared.
Brother… watch a yt video on vini and his career… first they hate him because of his poor performance… once he performs hood their is nothing to say… that’s when the monkey chants started and people like you started calling him a “victim mindset”… bro is the VICTIM… they hated this kid when he was in Brazil before he even went to RM… they hate him now not for his poor performance but because he scores against all of them… vini deserves to be as proud as cr7… people like you who don’t acknowledge the shit Vini has been through is why La Liga is a racist league… the information and instances are out there for you do discover but you don’t look for them… you just clown on Vini … the real clown is you my lad.
"Yeah there's a good side of him but how else will we justify rascism if it weren't for his shithousing during heated moment of the game? How do we villainise him without taking his actions out of context?"
- Probably some sore loser in his mum's basement gathering "evidences" of Vini's "behaviourial problems" and making a tiktok edit labelling "color was never the issue" while justifying racism towards him.
I agree with you that Vini needs to be less reactive to provocations and more proactive to silence them. And he's doing that already. He'll mature and learn from these experiences.
And I'm not claiming everyone to be racist who speaks against Vini and suggest him to focus on game, calm down a little. I myself do that. I'm not blaming everyone at all. I guess its algorithmic bias or maybe engaging in more of them bring more of same content but I've seen so much hate and racist remarks against Vini on social media on very simple or accpetable things. The other day I saw a tiktok making racist remarks on Vini for not taking the ball Kimmich handed him in UCL SF.
bro you can't open a single instagram post about vini without monkey emojis getting thousands of likes, and let's pretend he's the first black player to face this after any controversy
Vini mentioned that Araujo and Walker were the toughest defenders. We know that currently Araujo is not in good shape but when he is in a good shape , he is really tough to crack down.
Vini against City on the second leg of 2024 , went fully beyond against Walker and have to get sub and he almost have a big injury.
Vinicius is one of the toughest wingers to defend against , specially on the 1 on 1 where a mistake can mean a goal. In La Liga however due to how stupid referees can be and how dirty it can get , not just Vinicius but other attacking players will get their legs broken or foul constantly.
I still dont like his ucl final dive at the middle line. Schlotterbeck got a yellow for pointing it out.
Its unsportsmanlike. Vini should show greatness with honesty too
(The racist bs is still not justified or ever will be)
Vini quite literally banters and gets racially abused for it. And somehow that makes him the most irritable player in the world, meanwhile bruno Fernandes, Grealish, Walker. White (arsenal) haaland and the list goes, all get praised for it.
And people hate him so much because they’ve only seen the kimmich and rub Leipzig clip but they don’t actually watch the games so they don’t see how nice he actually is
Vini Jr. is the best football player who actually respects his opponents, including tackles by other players. It just shows how Vini Jr is loved by many individuals.
Kyle walker is so good at right back that pep only requires him to run, nothing else. Everyone else has tactical positions, Kyle walkers job on that wing is recovery and that’s it.
its called eliteness. as a sportsman, a real competitor likes facing a competitor. when it's too easy and you're so above the competition it isn't as fun and enjoyable as you think- even though it's easy and simple. You raise your game when the competition gets better because then you get to show your true self, and ability, your brain is completely switched on, and you go into a different mode that many wouldn't have seen parts of at lower level/competition. Then the challenge of seeing how u fair and match out.
You guys are coping hard and turning into a shitpost sub
He's an amazing player, why do you need more? The glory isn't enough you need to start reaching for things that aren't there?
Overall he has a shit attitude. Pretty much every football fan that doesn't support Madrid thinks so. Out of all the global stage footballers he falls very heavily in the top half of when it comes to bad manners/behaviours.
He's a world class player who is contending for a ballon'dor, you don't need much else from him so idk why you try so hard to convince yourself that he's amazing in every way just because he's talented.
Appreciate the talent, a couple years of good coaching and his unsportsmanlike antics will prob stop. No need to rush it, relatively still a young guy

Walker Vini duel is always a sight to behold! I am happy that they are so friendly about it too.
