Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has taken to social media this weekend, to send a message of support the way of Blancos teammate Vinícius Jr.
Attacker Vinícius is for his part of course fresh off a timely return to form on Saturday. Afforded a starting berth in Brazil’s friendly meeting with Japan, the 26-year-old went on to prove himself the star of the show.
Whilst he and his teammates were ultimately condemned to the wrong side of a 3-2 result, Vinícius was responsible for both of Brazil’s goals.
Not only that, but both came in spectacular fashion, courtesy of right-footed strikes from distance.
This confidence boost could not have come at a better time for Vinícius, who has long been singled out for criticism for the level of his performances at club level.
Post-match this weekend, the aforementioned Jude Bellingham therefore took to his official Instagram account, to send a message Vinícius’ way.
‘joga muito’, the Englishman wrote, translating as ‘you played really well’ or ‘you’re a beast’.
