Early Life and Background

Rising from Sa Goncalo’s entertainment and impoverished regions, Vinicius had a difficult upbringing. Similar to other Brazilian footballers, he was struck by the love of the game when young, playing football on the streets or on futsal close to his place. His family, knowing him well, believed in his aim and ambitions therefore didn’t hesitate to nurture them, which saw his father Vinicius Jose Paixao and mother Tatiana Vinicius make a number of sacrifices to afford him the help he needed.

In particular—for he mastered the art of dribbling at an early age—Vinicius benefitted from futsal, an indoor sport that is very popular in Brazil, which many people have grown fond of. The above environment developed his close ball control, quick thinking, and speed, which would come to be associated with his playing. By the time he was seven years old, Vinícius went on to enroll at the Flamengo football academy, and that was the start of his career.

Rise Through Flamengo’s Youth System

It didn’t take long for the youth coaches of Flamengo to notice Vinícius’s extraordinary gifts. He was quite a young boy, yet his abilities were exceptional: he was quick on his feet, deft with the ball, and did not shy away from any challenge – things that were well ahead of his age. He climbed the ladder of the youth teams and by twenty seventeen, he had become one of the bigger upcoming stars in Brazil. Most notably, his displays with the club’s U-15 and U-17 squads were remarkable, pleasing the talent scouts of several European teams.

In 2017, at the tender age of sixteen, Vinicius penned a professional deal with the Brazilian giants. Just a few days after he turned sixteen, Flamengo decided to renew his contract, this time with a very rich buyout that spoke of the boy’s potential.

On May 13, 2017, he officially made his senior debut for Flamengo in a Brazilian Serie A match against Atlético Mineiro.

Move to Real Madrid

Vinícius came into the limelight in the month of May in the year 2017- Real Madrid had announced his transfer for a fee considered one of the highest for a player aged below 18,€45 Million. Due to his tender age, the deal enabled Vinicius to feature for Flamengo until he clocked eighteen years. Given the fact of his prodigious talent and the size of the transfer, it came as no surprise that there was lots of attention and pressure on Vinicius even before he landed in a European nation.

After turning 18, Vinicius was able to sign Real Madrid, in July 2018, and he joined the club with very great hopes. The transfer however brought mixed reaction. There were fears and doubts from the critic that linicius will be able to stand the harsh and demanding European football’s pressures let along play for a destructive club such as Real Madrid where successful performance is mandatory. Yet it was during this time in the capital of Spain, when a new era was beginning, and where the player learned a lot with the great football players that old Japan had.
