Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior appeared in press statements after the victory over Salzburg with a score of 3-0 in the third and final round of the group stage of the Club World Cup.

The Brazilian star said: "I am very happy with the goal, the assist, and everything we are doing in this tournament. Now comes the most important moment, the one we love more than anything else, where we can win an important title for this club."

He added: "We feel good; we played very well in the first half. The second half was a bit weaker, and that’s normal. We need to rest for the next match, which is very important in the round of sixteen, and we cannot let ourselves down."

Regarding Xabi Alonso's system: "The coach gradually tells us what we need to do, and we are getting used to his style. Today's match was perfect for that."

On his back-heeled pass to Valverde: "I didn’t watch the replay. But it was a good assist; I think it’s one of the best passes I’ve made. Especially since it was to Valverde, who always gives me great confidence. He is one of our leaders, and it’s always great to see him score a goal."

He concluded: "Real Madrid is the club of my life! I hope to continue here for many years; I love Real Madrid. I owe everything to this club. Pressure and criticism are not a problem. I am very happy with this club, with the new coach Xabi, and these players."
