The film also explores intimate moments with family, friends and teammates , in footage captured over a year and a half of filming. The documentary features footage of his meteoric stint at Flamengo, where the striker gained notoriety before being traded to the Spanish club.
The move to Europe, when he was still 18, is portrayed as one of the most challenging periods of the athlete's career . Difficulties in adapting and constant criticism shook his self-confidence, even leading him to question whether he was ready to defend one of the biggest teams in the world.
Among the reports, the player himself admits that, at the beginning of his time at Real Madrid, he felt he did not have the required level: “ I told my agent that I thought I did not have the quality to be there ”, reveals Vini in an excerpt from the documentary. Teammates such as Thibaut Courtois also comment on the striker's technical evolution, remembering that, despite his speed and dribbling, his decision-making needed to be improved.
The documentary also addresses tense episodes, such as the one that occurred in 2020, when French striker Karim Benzema was caught asking Ferland Mendy to avoid passing the ball to Vinicius during a Champions League match . In the film, Benzema confirms the statement, but downplays the incident as something common in the competitive environment of professional football.
The player hasn't established himself in the squad and, after a change in management's stance, could be traded; the winger is also free to look for a new club.

The future of center forward Juninho at Flamengo has taken on new chapters in recent days. The player, who had already been the subject of speculation , has failed to establish himself in the first team and has lost ground in the competition for a starting spot.
In recent matches, the coach opted to improvise Bruno Henrique and Plata in the position, in addition to giving more minutes to young Wallace Yan. Even when Pedro was out of the team, Juninho didn't have many opportunities to show his worth.
According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, there's been a significant shift behind the scenes at Gávea. While the club previously rejected offers for the player, the current stance is different: the board is open to negotiating with him , provided they receive a satisfactory offer.
Juninho's situation isn't the only movement in the attacking sector. According to a report by the Gazeta do Urubu website, striker Michael is also no longer part of the club's immediate plans and has been authorized to seek a new destination. The player, who has lost his place in Brazilian football, may face a transfer to the Arab world as his next challenge.
While monitoring the market, Flamengo focuses all its attention on the Libertadores. The duel against Internacional, scheduled for Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, opens the series of clashes that could define the club's future in the tournament.
Leader of the Brasileirão and in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, Mais Querido plans to replace the departure of Matheus Cunha, who already has a pre-contract with Cruzeiro

Enjoying a good run in the Brasileirão and advancing in the Libertadores, Flamengo is already making moves behind the scenes to strengthen its squad . The board has prioritized the arrival of a new goalkeeper , especially given the confirmed departure of Matheus Cunha. The goalkeeper signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and will leave the club without a fee at the end of the season.
Despite their confidence in Rossi , Mengão's board knows they need at least one more high-level goalkeeper on the roster . This time, the team wants to go to the transfer market to replace the Argentine, who has made some mistakes in recent games.
The name that most appeals to the club's board is Gabriel Brazão, Santos' standout player in 2025. However, the São Paulo club doesn't intend to facilitate the transfer of the number 77, as it considers it risky to reinforce a direct rival in the national elite. With a contract until 2026, Brazão has also played more than seven games for the São Paulo team in the Brasileirão.
Besides Brazão, another name appearing on Mengão's radar is Bento, Al-Nassr's goalkeeper . According to a Saudi journalist from Al-Riyadh, the player is attracting interest from several clubs and could leave the Arab team next year. If the deal goes through, Bento could become a viable alternative to the red-and-black goalkeeper's position.

Flamengo secured a significant 2-1 victory over Mirassol in a Brazilian Championship match at Maracanã Stadium. The match highlighted a significant improvement in the team's attack, which registered 24 shots, the most since returning from the Club World Cup.
After a period of difficulty creating chances, especially in the derby against Fluminense, Flamengo managed to create several clear-cut scoring chances. Coach Filipe Luís attributed this improvement to the opponent's more open style , which allowed Flamengo to better exploit the spaces in the opposing defense.
Filipe Luís assessed the team's performance and highlighted that Mirassol, by trying to control the game, ended up leaving gaps that Flamengo capitalized on. Despite some defensive scares, the Rio de Janeiro team managed to score the second goal and maintain the lead. The coach also praised the performance of their opponent, currently fifth in the table, highlighting the quality of the match.
In addition to the victory, Rubro-Negro still has a pending match against Sport , postponed due to the club's participation in the Club World Cup. The postponed match, valid for the 12th round, could be decisive in extending their points and confirming their lead in the competition this weekend.
Before continuing with the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo will turn its attention to the Copa Libertadores da América. Next Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm, the team led by Filipe Luís faces Internacional, at Maracanã, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the main continental competition.
