Real Madrid: 3 reasons why Vinicius Junior can be LaLiga’s next superstar

2. He can learn from the very best in the league

The second reason why Vinicius has a better chance at being the next Superstar than many other youngsters in the league is that he is literally playing with the best player in the league currently in Karim Benzema. And, it is clearly visible that the big Frenchman is having an impact on the Brazilian. They love playing together, they put up some of the best linkups you’d ever see and there’s undoubtedly been a master and apprentice relationship for a couple of seasons now.

Benzema aside, he also has senior players like Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale at his disposal. It doesn’t matter if they aren’t the same players they were a few seasons ago, nothing takes their experience away. Vini can still profit largely with his interactions with these living greats of football. There’s so much to learn and Vinicius is so lucky, to say the least, to be interacting with players of such caliber in his formative years.

Another big reason why these associations are profiting Vini is that he has put in his share of the hard work to earn first-team minutes. Last season, when Real Madrid was wracked with injuries and Eden Hazard couldn’t play to his fullest, it was Vini who became a regular on the flanks and benefited from playing with the likes of Benzema and linked up with greats in midfield like Toni Kroos. Who doesn’t remember the 3-1 Liverpool bashing, after all?
