Very close to Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior reacted to the announcement of his departure from Real with a magnificent tribute on social networks. The Brazilian thanked the Frenchman for everything the Frenchman gave him.
It’s the end of an infernal duo. One of the most dangerous in Europe. Next season, Vinicius Junior will be orphaned by Karim Benzema, who has decided to leave Real Madrid after 14 years and 25 titles won. The complementarity between the Brazilian winger (22 years old) and the French striker (35 years old) was still this season the number 1 weapon of the White House. Between them, they charge 53 goals and 27 assists, waiting for their last match together this Sunday against Athletic Bilbao (6:30 p.m.) in La Liga. Very moved by the decision of his partner, Vinicius paid him a magnificent tribute on social networks.
“Thanks for everything caption”
“Benzvini, Vinzema… It doesn’t matter. The result has always been the same: goals, laughs, titles and, above all, learning. When the too shy boy from São Gonçalo arrived in Madrid in 2018, you were the first to welcome me. I will never forget it. I grew up with you. We won in Spain, in Europe and in the world together. And I was able to applaud your Golden Ball with a lot of pride. I will always keep our videos as a source of inspiration and the memory of an unforgettable period. Karim, we will miss you a lot. Thank you for all caption”, wrote the Madrid number 20. Their relationship, however, has not always been idyllic.
One evening in October 2020, at half-time in a Champions League match against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Benzema had whispered “don’t play with him, he is playing against us” to Ferland Mendy and the images, captured by the cameras, had toured the media and talk shows. A time mocked for his lack of efficiency in front of goal, his technical clumsiness and his propensity to run with his head in the handlebars, Vinicius knew how to evolve and grow to become a world reference in his position, an example to follow. And Benzema is no stranger to this progression.
“We are only going to remember the thing I said, this, that. But I know what I brought him, recalled the former Lyonnais in the columns of France Football in January 2022. (…) Today, he is no longer the same player. He’s been doing what he should have been doing for a long time and you can’t tell him anything. He is a young player, very good. You just have to talk to him. I know he was capable of producing much more. So in two or three sentences on the field, in two or three movements, I showed him things, especially in the last twenty meters. He has to make the decision himself, cross for the assist, not for nothing, or shoot to score.”
