The painful Vinicius Junior truth that Jose Mourinho is failing to realise

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho maintains unwavering conviction that Vinicius Junior can regain his consistency and be a defining factor for the team. Despite his current struggles, Mourinho continues to trust the Brazilian forward following the recent Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid, according to a report from AS.

Vinicius Junior struggled offensively and defensively in the derby match, ultimately being substituted in the 52nd minute. Over his first eight appearances of the season, the winger has managed just one goal and three assists for Real Madrid.
