According to Sport, Real Madrid has had a poor start, and Vinicius is seen as too concerned with being the center of attention.

Real Madrid trails league leaders Barcelona by 6 points after 7 matchdays. Vinicius, who extended his contract last summer through June 30, 2032, has had a poor season so far, with just 1 goal and 3 assists to date.

The Brazilian winger's current annual salary is nearly 24 million euros, making him the second-highest paid player at Real Madrid after Mbappé. Sport consulted with sports psychologist and coach Carles Marcos to analyze Vinicius's performance and behavior at the start of this season.

Marcos believes Vinicius's main issue is that he is too focused on whether he is the focal point, which causes him to forget the value of humility. He suggests this is common among young players who may not receive enough guidance and are unsure how society and others perceive them.

Marcos says Vinicius's poor form is partly related to his physical condition and partly to his mentality. He states: "He always feels he is important, which feeds his ego, but he also thinks he can solve matches on his own, and that is where he makes mistakes."

Marcos also noted that Vini Jr. "frequently faces a lot of hostility on the pitch," but Neymar and Ronaldo have faced similar situations.

Marcos said: "I don't doubt that he will be fouled, but he shows frustration when facing these fouls and sometimes makes very provocative gestures. Contrary to what he thinks, these actions don't make him feel better." Therefore, he pointed out that Vini Jr. "needs to be valued, and these actions of his are not helping."

Marcos also mentioned that the arrival of Jan Diomande has put pressure on Vinicius in terms of competition. He stated that Vinicius wants to receive top treatment and be treated like a leading star, but may not realize that new players are also very talented and could even be stronger and rank above him. Marcos believes that some players with high self-esteem often forget the importance of humility in the world of football.
