I also really like the team's independence without the big names
But what are these big names? Vinicius, who scored 7 goals in 41 appearances? Rodrygo, who barely plays in Madrid? Casemiro, who stopped being a great player since the moment left Real Madrid? Raphinha, who had the season of his life and before he was an average player? I guess right now Vinicius is considered the star but, for example, Neymar at his age was playing at another level, for me there is no comparison.
It's not a matter of numbers, it's a matter of morale. How would you feel playing alongside Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, both at their peak? You'd feel like the best player in the world and do everything you could to help them perform well. The same goes for now, given the right proportions, of course.
You're right, it's not only about the numbers but, especially, about the players and the men behind the players: Vinicius has zero charisma, he is no leader, he can't be compared in any way to players (and men) like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, etc. Neymar could still be a leader somehow. Vinicius, no way, he is too self-centered.
