Vinicius: Mourinho wants me to be as I have always been

Brazilian Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior shared his impressions of the first meeting with Portuguese Jose Mourinho, the newly appointed head coach of the royal team.

"Everything went very well. I met a new coach, new players and trained hard. Jose Mourinho wants me to stay the way I've always been: happy, cheerful and showing my football.

We have to prepare well physically so that we have few injuries during the season and can count on every player," Vinicius was quoted as saying on Real Madrid's website.

Earlier it became known that Real Madrid is ready to sell Vinicius for 150 million euros to the English champion Arsenal, who is interested in his services.
