As deputy editor Roncero wrote in an article, despite Vinicius receiving jeers and criticism from some fans at the Bernabéu, manager Mourinho firmly supports the Brazilian forward and has decided to keep him in the starting lineup against Rayo Vallecano. Mourinho is satisfied with Vinicius's commitment to the team this season, believing he remains a key player for the squad.

In the Champions League match against Inter Milan, Vinicius showed his greatest commitment to the team this season, making up to nine tackles. However, some fans in the stands insisted on booing him every time he touched the ball, even before he completed his action. A season ticket holder from the seventh row of the lower tier stated: "Despite being a great Champions League night against a strong team like Inter, at least four people in our section were verbally insulting 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, the first person to explicitly state that he would not be influenced by this excessive criticism of number 7 is Mourinho. The Portuguese manager is very pleased with Vinicius's attitude since the start of the season, though he has lacked some attacking brilliance. But Vinicius is taking on defensive duties and doing less creative work for the team, something not seen in the previous two seasons. Although some may again pressure the Brazilian in Saturday's match against Rayo Vallecano, Mourinho has made clear that Vinicius will be in the starting eleven alongside ten other players against Rayo Vallecano.

He will not hesitate or give ammunition to the critics. Vinicius's path to redemption at the Bernabéu is through continuing to play and commit, something he has been doing since arriving in 2018. Vinicius never shies away from responsibility and will continue asking for the ball, though there is undeniable tension around him that will not change. The dressing room also feels what is happening to their teammate.

According to AS, after the match against Inter Milan, when Vinicius was substituted late in the game and received loud boos, a prominent player on the team immediately approached Mourinho and told him: "Coach, I'm worried about Vini. He has given so much to Real Madrid over the years, and it's not normal for some fans to treat him like this. We need to make him happy again."

Mourinho nodded and communicated with his coaching staff, believing that Vinicius is a key player for the success of this season's sporting project. The first way to restore Vinicius emotionally and competitively is to make him know that his position in the team hierarchy is not in question. He remains the most decisive player in one-on-one situations, and the coaching staff believe that through matches and accumulating playing time, he will return to his best form and once again become the nightmare of opposing defenses.

Therefore, Mourinho has decided to continue pairing Mbappé and Vinicius in attack against Rayo Vallecano, while suspended players Güler and Bernardo Silva will return to midfield, and Tchouaméni and Thiago Silva are also ready.

For Vinicius, Mourinho's support has been healing. The club, starting with the president, continues to express its support for him. His contract renewal a few weeks ago until 2032 was not mere talk, but a firm belief in this 26-year-old player who still has a long career ahead.

Saturday will be an important day to assess the attitude of Real Madrid fans toward the Brazilian star. Mourinho and his teammates will undoubtedly protect him on the pitch. Now it only remains for Vinicius to regain his inspiration and become lethal in attack again. Mourinho hopes to extinguish this fire immediately.
