It is better to start a game with players who can propel and project your tactics. Vinicius Jr is not that guy that presses enough. Good thing I saw with my own eyes when they played against PSG during the Cwc. I'm cool with him coming from the bench until he learns to press and also add to his defending skills rather than stroll around. I don't watch this football with sentiment, Vinicius Jr need to convince Xabi Alonso into doing that.
Exactly, until Vinicius Jr. learns to fight back to support his defenders, he will always have a problem with Alonso because that’s what all coaches are looking for. You can’t just be a winger and can’t step back for your defenders when you lose the ball; many coaches will not want it that way because it is not proper at all.
Massive attack and massive defense should be the best tactics for Real Madrid, which I think is what Alonso is setting up in his team; therefore, there will be no room for wingers to stay in their positions even when they lose the ball. The defenders will suffer, and they will easily have problems.
Mbappe also has the same problem too, but I think they are all about to adjust because they really need to work as a team to make the team go forward. If Mbappe and Vini can keep their good relation and proper communication in the field of play, Real Madrid will be better again.
Every coach comes with his coaching philosophy and principles and so if Alonso style is that wingers should track back when the ball is in their defense then the players should do so Vinicius is one player that is good in running in the front so tracking back to be helping the defense line up is one thing that Vinicius is not used to but he definitely has to adopt into doing that.
