Real Madrid supporters have put forward two possible explanations for Vinicius Junior’s unconvincing form this season.
According to The Touchline, one theory centres on the Brazil forward’s relationship with his former girlfriend, Virginia Fonseca. The pair have reportedly separated and reunited, while supporters have repeatedly noticed difficulties in their relationship which they believe may have made it harder for Vinicius to focus on football.
The second explanation relates to the pressure he faces from opposition fans. Vinicius is frequently criticised and subjected to abuse, with supporters suggesting that this has become particularly intense recently.
The Real Madrid forward has played 11 matches in all competitions this season, scoring one goal and providing three assists.
