Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr reveals his idols

Pele, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are big names in the past and recent history of sport. All of them are idols for Real Madrid player Vinicius Jr, who acknowledged to the cameras of 'Movistar Plus' that they are his references: "I've taken a bit from each generation of my favourite sports".
On the other hand, to the personalities already mentioned, the Brazilian winger added his compatriot Ronaldo Nazario in a special way: "He calls me whenever he can to give me some advice". The former Real Madrid and Barcelona player has always been very attentive to the Real Madrid's young Brazilians, and also has a good relationship with Rodrygo.
"Since he told me that his best moment was a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, I started to think about it and I improved a lot. Now, every time I have one, I have the greatest peace of mind in the world. After that conversation, I stopped being afraid of making mistakes in one-on-ones in front of the goal because I know it's the easiest part of a game," he explained.
As for the other names, he said: "Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol, I could follow Jordan and James and they do great things both on and off the court. They inspire me and a lot of kids, I want to be like them.
