Since then, Vinicius has scored only 3 goals in La Liga, and his Champions League goals since December last year have mostly been insignificant. Now, every move he makes appears deliberate, anxious, and even reckless, as if he's trying to prove himself to the world with sheer force.
Ancelotti has grown increasingly disappointed with this Flamengo product, often seen demanding him to participate in defense and chastising him for poor defensive efforts. Although rumors of a Saudi transfer have gradually died down, if Real Madrid wants to return to the top, they must find the best version of Vinicius.
Additionally, the injuries, especially Chen Zhong's, due to the national team impact, are also reasons for Real Madrid's struggles this season.
With modern football schedules becoming increasingly dense, Chen Zhong's injuries hit the team like a disaster.
This is why, when Chen Zhong wanted to leave to prepare for the new season's World Cup, the club was unwilling to let him go.
