It is not always the case that the players of a great team are also fans of the club. The link is generally strong at Real Madrid, who sign footballers from all over the world, but the purest madridismo usually belongs to homegrown players. However, at Chamartn, they discovered a Brazilian who may easily be a badge partner. This is Vinicius, who is enjoying the best of Real Madrid.
The Brazilian starred in one of the images from Real Madrid's last Euroleague game. Among the renowned people who attended the WiZink Center was Vini. Cheering like no other, he celebrated the decisive baskets by Sergio Rodríguez and Sergio Llull. After the game, he published a message on his social networks: "Nothing is impossible for those who are MADRIDISTAS". A day later, there were 144,000 likes, 16,000 retweets and 2,500 comments.
He has naturally put the fans in his pocket for one reason above all others: to live Real Madrid as one of the rest. As a result, he pays close attention whenever the club faces a challenge in any of its sections. Several of his posts show him cheering on basketball and the women's football team.
Another gesture that Madridistas like is his support to athletes from other sports who have declared themselves followers of the white club. Among them, two tennis players, Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz. He gave the former a shirt in 2020 with the following message: "For the phenomenon and Madridista Rafael Nadal. He is number 1 and Madridista." The second, whom he recently watched live at the Madrid Mutua Open, he also dedicated a publication to. He posted a photo of both greeting each other and a message: "HALA MADRID!"
His attitude is very similar to that of Luka Doncic, with the difference that the Slovenian did form in Valdebebas. His fanaticism for Real Madrid did not end when he left for the NBA and he continues to send public messages of support to both his former basketball teammates and the football team.
These gestures help him connect with the crowd in a way that many club stars have not been able to. Players like Ronaldo, Figo or Beckham aroused the respect of the stands, but the union with Vini is different, more typical of a homegrown player. He is a footballer who never forgets his fans because he thinks and feels like one of them.
