Vinicius can be a great player, no one can deny that. However, he can't be a player who single-handedly carries a team like Cristiano Ronaldo. Sure, he can do it in some matches, but he can't achieve the same level of success in countless matches. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are exceptional players in the world of football. Players like him rarely come along in the sports world. Therefore, expectations are high for every player compared to them, but they can't meet those expectations.

Vinicius is too individual, he often thinks only of himself, it will ruin him sooner or later. But for now he is playing very well and is useful to the team, but to compare him with such great players I think there is no point, he will never become one. Especially if the rumours of a move to Saudi Arabia within a few years become a reality - then he's basically pretty much put an end to his career, he needs to stay in Europe

Stop comparing the lay player to the GOAT of football, whether it's Messi or Ronaldo, because Vinicius Junior is an average player, and Messi and Ronaldo are the GOATs of football. He can't recognize to the level of Messi and Ronaldo. So whenever you want to compare an average player, you should exclude Messi and Ronaldo because there is no one in the football world who can approach the level of both of them, even Neymar and Suarez did not approach it despite they were also great players. So Vinicius Junior is an average player, he can end his career like average players. It is inappropriate to compare him with the GOAT of football.

However, Vinicius Junior, Killian Mbappe, and Holland fall in one category. Like for today's era, these three are good players, nothing more.

I was in no way comparing him to the greatest players in history, on the contrary I said he won't reach their level6 because it's completely different. Messi is talent, Ronaldo is time honed skill, on the one hand these are all things that can be achieved, but there will be no copies of these players. But the comparisons will never really stop, as soon as a talented player comes along and plays well for a season - they will definitely start comparing him to Messi or Ronaldo
