Vinicius Jr's excuse after not performing with the Brazilian National Team

Vinicius Jr. talked about what happened and why he doesn't perform with Brazil: "The games in Europe are faster than here. The ball comes faster. We have to adapt in the best way. I want to apologize to the people," the Brazilian player confessed to criticism for his performance.

The Real Madrid player also confessed that he will not always score goals, but that he knows his game and what he will do to make them trust him again: "I'm not always going to score goals, it's not as easy as it seems. I know my trust, I know everything I represent. As I feel better, I will give peace of mind to others," said the striker after the match.

The big problem is that Vinicius is for many who must take the leadership of the Brazilian National Team. However, it does not even reach the shadow of what Neymar was with the 'canarinha'. Another criticism is that in Real Madrid, 'Vini' is a figure, he is a reference, and he was in the last editions of the League, and especially in the Champions League.

Currently Vinicius is the main candidate to win the Ballon d'Or, but for many, one of his weak points is precisely that he has not had good performances with the national team. For now, it seems that what was done at Real Madrid is enough for him to take that award. In the end, soon it will be known who wins the Ballon d'Or.
