Vinicius Jr. has consolidated as one of the best strikers in the European leagues, he was one a UEFA Champions League, hes been champion in the Spanish league and has been granted top goal scorer for his performance on the pitch. Unfortunately his injury against Celta Vigo has prevented him from seeing any more action, but he has now recovered and is ready to play.
His skills with the ball are quite amazing thanks to the Brazilian heritage of the famous style “jogo bonito”, a pure South American technique that is usually seen in players with great abilities with the football that leaves everyone’s mouth open. And Vinicius Jr. has demonstrated his great football skills with famous WR star from the Minnesota Vikings, Justin Jefferson.
As we could see in the video above, Vinicius Jr. and Justin Jefferson have traveled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for this ‘GameRecognizeGame’ edition where these two sport stars are set in a skill challenge exhibition where both show their abilities with their respective footballs and also each one tries to get into the other shoes and have a one-day experience on how would it be if they play that sport instead.
This isn't the only time the NFL and FIFA team up for these types of videos. Since the National Football League arrived to Europe in order to extend their game and market with three games per season, the collaboration between these two sport authorities began to show the importance of both sports.
What is ‘GameRecognizeGame’?
As we said before, since the National Football League began to have more games in Europe (two played in England, at the Tottenham Hotspur’s Stadium and one more matchup in Germany, that’ll be played at the Bayern Münich’s Stadium) they have started a campaign along with FIFA in order to show the great things both sports have, and that's how ‘GameRecognizeGame’ is born.
The last time the NFL and FIFA made this collaboration was when Barcelona’s stars Raphinha and Sergino Dest went to visit the Miami Dolphins stars Tua Tagovailoa and Jayleen Waddle in Miami, Florida for a skill challenge showdown.
