Vinicius: Anfield’s firefighter

Staying with a single soccer player after the exhibition that the RealMadrid, especially in the second half, at Anfield, is not an easy task at all. But it is clear that Vinicius Júnior must be emphasized. The Brazilian appeared when the team needed him most.

Because after the 2-0 draw, the faces of the madridistas were a true poem. Benzema made a fuss and tried to encourage his team. They had come out of even more adverse situations and in absolutely unlikely ways. It was possible. It was possible? It was. Never rule out Real Madrid.

And it was because Vinicius, as Ancelotti said, is today the most decisive footballer in World Cup football. So without any palliative. The carioca came up with a really great goal to silence a mature Anfield who was already thinking of beating Ancelotti’s team with the intention of taking revenge for the two lost finals. But They didn’t have Vinicius in supernova mode. A Vinicius that made Real Madrid, which only needs a spark to unleash the comeback, believe in every player and grow individually.

Nacho, Valverde, Camavinga, Modric, Benzema… the majority hit perfection by the 2-1. But it was Vinicius who started it all. The one who believed more than anyone else and the one who thought, if Courtois can fail, why not Alisson? No sooner said than done. Great pressure, unwavering confidence and 2-2. Game drawn and Liverpool, sank without understanding how it was possible that things were even.

Modric and Benzema left Anfield with an ovation… we’ll have to see if Vinicius also leaves the Liverpool stadium with an ovation one day. He aspires to be at least on that level of a football legend, but he also looks like they’ll hate him more than the other two. has already noticed five goals in four games, including two braces and the goal that stripped them of the Champions League last season. It is without a doubt the fire extinguisher of the Klopp team. The firefighter who put out all hell at Anfield.
