Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. has spoken positively about new head coach José Mourinho after completing his second training session under the Portuguese manager.
Mourinho returned to Real Madrid for a second spell this summer following the club’s trophyless 2025-26 campaign.
Vinicius recently rejoined the squad after representing Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he scored four goals before the five time champions were eliminated by Norway in the Round of 16.
Speaking to Real Madrid’s media team after training, Vinicius expressed his excitement about the new season under Mourinho as speculation over a possible move to Arsenal continues.
“It has gone very well, getting to know the new coach and the new players, and training very hard.”
“Mourinho wants me to be as I have always been: happy, cheerful and playing my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and can count on everyone” Vinicius said.
