Ahead of Las Palmas’ highly anticipated match against Real Madrid, the team’s coach openly discussed his concerns about one specific player. “With him on the field, they’ll be a real threat,” he said. “I just hope he’s not available today.”
The player in question is Vinícius Júnior, Real Madrid’s dynamic forward, known for his incredible speed, technical skill, and knack for scoring. His ability to change the course of a game has made him a key figure for Los Blancos this season, and the Las Palmas coach is well aware of the danger he poses.
“Vinícius is an extraordinary talent. His pace and dribbling can break down any defense,” the coach acknowledged. “We’ve planned our approach, but facing someone of his quality is always tough. If he plays, it will be a challenging 90 minutes.”
Currently in solid form, Real Madrid will be hoping to rely on Vinícius to secure another important win. However, his availability remains uncertain after recently recovering from a minor injury. The coach’s comments highlight the respect and fear Vinícius commands from opponents.
Las Palmas, eager for an upset, have been focusing on solid defensive play and counter-attacks in preparation. “We must stay compact and disciplined. Real Madrid punishes any mistakes, especially with players like Vinícius,” the coach stressed.
As matchday approaches, all eyes will be on the lineup to see if Vinícius starts. His presence—or absence—could prove decisive in this encounter.
Regardless of whether he plays, Las Palmas’ coach and players are determined to face the challenge head-on. “We’re ready for the fight,” he concluded, “but we know the threat he brings.”
