Vinicius Jr Struggles to Find Consistency at Real Madrid
In a rollercoaster season for Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid, the young Brazilian forward is facing scrutiny for his lack of consistency in front of goal. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, with standout performances like his hat-trick against Osasuna, Vinicius has only managed to score two goals in his last twelve matches with the Spanish giants.
Returning from international duty with Brazil, where he had a mixed impact, Vinicius now faces a crucial phase of the season with Real Madrid fighting on multiple fronts in LaLiga, Champions League, and the Copa del Rey. The pressure is on for the No. 7 to deliver when it matters most.
Vinicius has scored a total of 10 goals in LaLiga this season, with seven at home and three away. While the 21-year-old has been instrumental in some key moments for Real Madrid, such as his heroics against Borussia Dortmund, his recent form has left much to be desired.
Notably, Vinicius has only found the back of the net in five home league games this season, showcasing a stark contrast to his performances in previous campaigns. Last season, he netted 15 LaLiga goals, while the year before he finished with 10 goals. The current season’s tally falls short of expectations for a player of his caliber.
With six home games remaining in the season, including fixtures against Leganés, Valencia, and Real Sociedad, Vinicius has the opportunity to silence his critics and boost his goal-scoring numbers. The upcoming match against Leganés presents a chance for the young forward to bounce back from his recent struggles and showcase his true potential on the field.
