"Vinicius is outstanding"

Spain-Brazil will be the centre of attention on the football planet. The eagerly awaited clash at the Santiago Bernabeu will have Vinicius as one of its main protagonists. The young Real Madrid star, who is in a great moment, plays at home and aims to be one of the main stars of the match, something that the 'Canarinha' rival is very clear about.

Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish coach, did not hesitate to praise his next opponent and his leader, whom he considered to the media to be "outstanding" and whom he sees as "one of the best in the world". Moreover, the coach of 'la Roja' also highlighted the figure of Endrick, a young talent who will arrive at Real Madrid in the summer, and stopped comparisons with Pele, which he said put "a lot of pressure" on a 17-year-old boy.

"Vinícius seems to me to be a world 'top', an exceptional footballer. I don't know if he's one, two or three, but he's among the best in the world for sure. Everyone has their tastes but he is undoubtedly among the best in the world. He's out of this world," said De la Fuente at a press conference at 'Ciudad del Futbol'.

After Endrick's goal at Wembley gave Brazil victory over Spain, De la Fuente called for restraint with the young Brazilian striker signed from Real Madrid. "He's a 17-year-old boy, a very good footballer. We have players of that age too and, from my experience with them, we have to give them time and be very cautious. To think that he can be the next Pele, that's putting a lot of pressure on him, generating stress that they are not ready for because of their maturity", he said.
