Another odyssey of Vinicius in the Madrid of comebacks: "With him it's 80% soft hand and 20% hard hand"

Vinicius struggled in a recent match against AEK Athens, showing a lack of confidence and rhythm after a 15-day absence from play. Despite Mourinho's efforts to restore his form, Vinicius failed to complete any dribbles and had minimal touches and passes. The match was intense for Real Madrid, who faced a determined AEK team. Vinicius has not contributed a goal or assist since September 12, complicating Mourinho's tactical decisions. The coach aims to reposition players to help Vinicius regain his confidence, acknowledging the need for a balance between leniency and discipline in managing him. Madrid secured a late victory, continuing their trend of scoring in the final minutes of matches.
