Vini Jr: “It was the best performance of the season”
“I don't tend to shoot from outside the box but I felt confident and it came off," said the Brazilian following his stunner against Girona.
Vini Jr. was one of the standout performers in Real Madrid's win over Girona at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Brazilian set the team on the path to victory with a sublime right-footed piledriver from well outside the box, as well as playing a key role in all of the team's other goals: "It was the best performance of the season. We did everything the coach asked of us. We pressed like we had to and then dropped deeper. That's the difference. When this team is up for it, we're very hard to beat. And this was top opposition today. We have to keep this up to win LaLiga.”
“Girona have been on an amazing run. They're playing really well and we knew this was a difficult game and we'd have to be focused and do a good job. When the fans are behind us like that, it makes it very hard for the opposition."
His thunderbolt
“I don't tend to shoot from outside the box but I felt confident and I didn't get to play the last game and it came off. I'm thrilled but now we have to rest up before Tuesday."
Link-up with Bellingham
“We train together every day and we're getting to know each other. He's incredible and I hope he keeps scoring goals all campaign. He's been the best this season, he's playing amazingly. This team is like a family and we have to stick together to achieve great things."
The fans
“Playing here in front of these fans makes me so happy, to wear this jersey too. I hope the president lets me stay and play here for a long time yet."
