Gabriel Jesus hails Vinicius Jr.

Speaking to the media alongside interim coach Fernando Diniz, Jesus did not hold back the plaudits and admiration for the young Vinicius.

As quoted by Madrid Xtra, the former Manchester City forward said:

"Viní is showing how good he is, how important he is for Real Madrid and for the national team. I am very happy with his progress. He is very happy, cheerful, and he transmits very positive energy."

Underlining Vinicius's performance against Osasuna, he added,

"At Real Madrid, he made a successful return from injury, scoring goals and contributing to the team's victories."

Despite a prolonged injury setback, the Los Blancos attacker has been directly involved in four goals in his seven appearances this season.

With expectations mounting for Vinicius to assume a leadership role in the Brazilian national team, many anticipate him leading the Selecao's charge for a World Cup qualification spot, possibly securing their first title at the Mundial since their 2002 triumph in Korea/Japan.
