Spanish media reports confirmed that Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso informed his Brazilian star Vinicius Junior that he trusts in his abilities and sees him as an important player in the team's project for the upcoming phase.

Vinicius has been substituted in several matches this season and has started some games from the bench, a move some see as Alonso's way of pushing the player to return to his best form.

The Spanish coach is keen on restoring the most dazzling version of the Brazilian star, which is why he is dealing with him firmly and strictly this season to motivate him to perform better.

It is worth noting that Vinicius's contract expires in the summer of 2027, and doubts still surround his future with the club amid the lack of an agreement regarding the contract renewal.
