To be the best you have to look at the best ones. That is a statement that many uses in their life and soccer players are not an exception. To copy movements, skills and techniques from those top talented players is a great option for young prospects who are trying to learn and develop.

Real Madrid has one of those youngsters who is set to be one of the best players of the world in the future. He is just 20 years old and his name is Vinicius Junior. With just 18 years he left Flamengo former side for $45 million and joined the Spanish club. Since then, he has been given chances to play and has performed well in important matches.

The great effort of Vinicius is being put on his development, as he is yet too young. He has been many times compared with Pele, the greatest Brazilian legend ever, but he also has another idol that looks frequently: Ronaldo Nazario. The striker marked an era at Europe during the 2000s and, even though Vinicius was too young then, he still tries to watch those games nowadays.

The 20-year-old himself recognized that before important games he loves to watch Ronaldo’s movements to try to apply them on the field. With a contract until 2025, Real Madrid has deposited all their faith in this boy, who has already played 90 official matches with the club, scoring 11 goals and giving 19 assists.
