Former Real Madrid player criticizes future Merengues’ star
The Brazilian starlet will turn 18 in July and Real Madrid managed to seal his transfer for a fee in the region of € 45 million.
Petkovic, however, believes the Brazilian is yet not ready to wear the Real Madrid shirt.
“He [Vinicius Junior] is an individualist player, he doesn’t think about the collective. He nutmeg his opponents but he has no objective. When he does that he loses the ball sometimes and that’s not good. He has to focus on diagonals and try to be more decisive.”
Petkovic played for two seasons at Real Madrid and left the Santiago Bernabeu in 1996 to join Racing Santander.
During his playing career he also played with Flamengo (the same squad of Vinicius) and Venezia.
