The Spanish newspaper "AS" revealed that Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior told his teammates in the Real Madrid locker room that his recent decline in performance is primarily due to not being in optimal physical condition.

According to the newspaper, the management of the Royal Club, led by President Florentino Pérez, has shown understanding of Vinícius's explanations. Real Madrid officials believe there is a clear physical deficiency in the team as a whole, which has been reflected in the performance of several players in recent matches.

Vinicius believes that regaining his full physical fitness will be the key to returning to his usual level on the field, expressing confidence in his ability to become the best version of himself once he overcomes this challenging physical phase.

This comes at a time when Real Madrid's technical and medical staff are working to address the physical issues affecting the team, hoping to restore balance and improve performance in the upcoming challenges.
