Vinicius' recovery: Mourinho's mission at Real Madrid

José Mourinho is taking advantage of Vinicius Junior's absence for the match against Real Madrid and Valencia to work on restoring the Brazilian star's best form and helping him overcome the pressures that have affected his performance recently.

According to reports from inside the Real Madrid dressing room, there is currently intensive mental work being done with Vinicius Junior, aimed at providing him with greater space to play freely and confidently, away from the pressures that may hinder his ability to make a difference on the pitch.

Mourinho is focusing on bringing spontaneity back to the performance of Vinicius Junior, so that any unsuccessful dribble does not turn into a source of frustration affecting his subsequent attempts, or that his ongoing desire to prove his abilities does not become a psychological burden limiting his potential.

The main idea is to relieve Vinicius Junior of pressure and restore his confidence, while also working on developing his technical aspects on the pitch, in the hope of bringing the player back to a level that makes him one of the most influential elements in the Real Madrid squad.
