Santiago Solari was the great supporter of Vinicius Jr. at Real Madrid. In the 2018-19 season, the Argentine coach began to give him playing time when he took over from Julen Lopetegui, who barely counted on the Brazilian.
For this reason, the huge improvement of the 'Merengue' striker is always an extra joy for the coach, as he himself acknowledged in an interview granted to 'Marca', a preview of which can be read on the front page: "I'm proud of him".
He also wanted to stress that the Brazilian is not like some of his compatriots, as he believes he is much more than a player with quality and technique: "Vinicius is not only talented, he is a fighter".
The Real Madrid-America match in San Francisco has a lot to do with Solari, who coached both clubs. The Argentinian also had good words to say about Carlo Ancelotti, the current Real coach: "He has great knowledge".
