Vinicius Jr has revealed the backing he has received from Zinedine Zidane after the Brazilian's somewhat mixed start to life at Real Madrid.
The youngster joined Real last summer and, despite showing plenty of promise, a knee injury towards the back end of the 2018/19 season disrupted his progress.
Vinicius has made three appearances in La Liga this season, starting once against Celta Vigo, and insisted he is confident that he can kick on to enjoy a fruitful career in the Spanish capital.
"Zidane always tells me to be relaxed and to keep growing because if I do so, and because I am so well treated by everybody, he says I'll be playing there for a long time," he told a news conference (via Goal).
