Real Madrid’s coaching staff, led by José Mourinho, have begun an in-depth assessment of Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior’s physical condition amid a noticeable decline in his pace.

Details: According to respected Spanish outlet El Debate, the Madrid club are concerned that the 26-year-old forward has lost a significant amount of his explosive acceleration and no longer shows the same confidence when taking on opponents in one-on-one situations. The player himself is fully aware of his dip in form and is determined to regain his best condition. However, the Portuguese manager has made it clear that the team’s interests come before any star status.

Mourinho intends to do everything possible to help the player rediscover his best form, but he has set the Brazilian a clear deadline: Vinicius has exactly one month to prove his worth and meet the coaching staff’s demands. Otherwise, the South American risks becoming a permanent fixture on the bench at the Spanish giants.

It is worth noting that Vinicius Junior has been representing Real Madrid since the summer of 2018, winning numerous trophies with Los Blancos, including three La Liga titles and two UEFA Champions League trophies.
