AS deputy editor Roncero has written an article stating that despite Vinicius receiving boos and criticism from some Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu, coach Mourinho remains firmly supportive of the Brazilian winger and has decided to keep him in the starting lineup for the match against Rayo Vallecano. Mourinho is satisfied with Vinicius's commitment to the team this season and believes he remains a key player for the squad.

During the Champions League match against Inter Milan, Vinicius displayed exceptional commitment this season, completing nine tackles, yet some fans in the stands continued to boo him every time he touched the ball, even before he had a chance to complete his plays. A season ticket holder in the seventh row of the upper tier said: "Despite it being a wonderful Champions League night against a strong team like Inter, at least four people in our section verbally abused him throughout the match, even before kickoff. This is not normal."

The club has noticed this unusual atmosphere and has no intention of standing idle. In fact, Mourinho was the first to make clear that he will not be swayed by this excessive criticism of number 7. The Portuguese coach is very satisfied with Vinicius's attitude since the start of the season, despite some occasional lack of precision in his attacking play. However, Vinicius is now taking on defensive duties and less creative work for the team, which was not seen in the previous two seasons. While some may continue to pressure the Brazilian player during Saturday's match against Rayo Vallecano, Mourinho has made it clear that he will field Vinicius in the starting lineup alongside ten other players.

He will not hesitate, nor will he provide ammunition for the critics. Vinicius's path to redemption at the Bernabéu is to continue playing and contributing, something he has done since joining in 2018. Vinicius never shies away from responsibility and will continue to demand the ball, and despite the undeniable tension surrounding him, this will not change. The dressing room has also been affected by what is happening to their teammate.

According to AS, after the Inter match, when Vinicius was substituted late in the game and received loud boos, a prominent player in the squad immediately approached Mourinho and said: "Coach, I'm worried about Vini. He has contributed so much to Real Madrid over the years, and the way some fans are treating him is not right. We need to make him happy again."

Mourinho nodded in agreement and discussed the matter with his coaching staff, believing Vinicius is a key player in achieving this season's sporting objectives. The first way to restore Vinicius emotionally and competitively is to make him understand that his position in the team is not in doubt. He remains the most unbalancing player in one-on-one situations, and the coaching staff believe that through matches and accumulated playing time, he will return to his best form and once again become a nightmare for opposing defenders.

Therefore, Mourinho has decided to continue pairing Mbappé and Vinicius in attack for the Rayo Vallecano match, while the midfield will see the return of Güler and Bernardo Silva from suspension, alongside Tchouaméni and Thiago Alcântara who are also ready.

For Vinicius, Mourinho's support has been therapeutic. The club, starting with the president, continues to show its backing for him. His contract extension just weeks ago until 2032 is not mere words, but a firm belief in this 26-year-old player who still has a long career ahead of him.

Saturday will be an important day to assess Real Madrid fans' attitude toward the Brazilian star. Mourinho and his teammates will certainly protect him on the pitch. Now, Vinicius must regain his spark and become dangerous in attack once more. Mourinho hopes to extinguish this fire immediately.
