An idol of the German national team and Bayern Munich, Philipp Lahm praised striker Vinicius Jr in an interview with The Athletic . The former full-back highlighted the physical explosion and tactical intelligence of the player who was discovered by Flamengo , and is now a reference at Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team.
This makes him incredibly difficult to score..."
“Vini Jr impresses me a lot. Mainly because of his ability to execute plays at high speed and to start attacks while still in the defensive field. This makes him incredibly difficult to mark from a full-back’s point of view,” said Lahm.
The 2014 world champion also highlighted the physical fitness of Real Madrid 's number 7. According to him, the ability to maintain a fast pace over long distances is an underestimated advantage.
“Perhaps what is least appreciated is how physically prepared he is . He can run 70 meters without losing speed and still finishes brilliantly at the end of those races,” he added.
Lahm compared Vini Jr to two Bayern Munich icons: Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry . For the former full-back, the Brazilian has technical and offensive resources similar to those of his former teammates.
“His dribbling and changes of direction are reminiscent of Robben and Ribéry. The difference is that he participates less defensively , which opens up space for him to be attacked in transitions. But with the ball at his feet, it is much harder to stop him, ” he explained.
Despite the praise, Lahm believes that the Brazilian has specific strategies that can help contain the Mengão player, although it is not possible to neutralize the actions of the Real Madrid striker.
“I don’t think Vini Jr can be completely neutralized, but it’s essential to stop him from cutting inside . We need to deny him the angles, the spaces, and always push him to the touchline,” advised the former player.
With 517 appearances, 16 goals and 70 assists for Bayern , Lahm ended his career with eight Bundesliga titles, one Champions League and one Club World Cup . With Germany, he lifted the World Cup trophy in 2014, as captain.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
