Jose Mourinho has said that Vinicius Junior should have turned his back on Real Madrid during the summer transfer window. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Vini Jr should’ve joined Arsenal because the Brazilian forward deserves to play in a league where he is more respected.
Stressing that he wouldn’t have tolerated such hostile treatment in La Liga, Jose concluded by clarifying that Vinicius‘ deep affection for the club ultimately kept him in Spain.
His words, “If I were [Vinicius], in his place, I probably wouldn’t be here.
Last summer I would have forced my exit to a league, to a country, to clubs and stadiums where they’d respect him.
When he signed that contract, he signed it because Madrid is his home, and Real Madrid is his home.
What I said before was that I doubt I’d be able – as a player with lots of options – I doubt whether I’d be able to have his psychological strength, to hold on.”
