Real Sociedad manager, Imanol Alguacil has singled out Real Madrid winger Vinicius for special praise ahead of both teams’ La Liga tie on Tuesday night.
Alguacil labelled Vinicius as a difference maker for Real Madrid, while also acknowledging the impact of other Los Blancos players.
Vinicius is currently having a brilliant season, scoring 22 goals and providing 20 assists across competitions for Real Madrid this season.
Speaking about the Brazilian at his pre-match press conference, Alguacil said: “Yes, because he’s been showing that he is a difference maker, but sometimes when Vinicius is there, it is other players who have won the match.
“It is clear that he [Vinicius] is having a great season, as his numbers show, but when he doesn’t have his day, others appear and those others are going to be on the pitch.”
