Vinicius back in training as Jose Mourinho begins shaping Real Madrid squad

Vinicius has returned to Real Madrid training and is already adjusting to Jose Mourinho’s demands.

After several weeks away, the Brazilian has rejoined the squad with a clear message from the new coach: stay true to himself and keep playing with joy.

Speaking to Real Madrid TV, Vinicius said the comeback has gone smoothly as he gets to know Mourinho and the new arrivals around him. He also explained that the sessions are intense and designed to push the players physically before the season begins.

The winger said Mourinho’s main advice was simple: remain happy, stay expressive and play his natural game. That approach seems to suit Vinicius, who has often been at his best when he is free to take on defenders and influence matches with confidence.

He also stressed the importance of pre-season work, noting that good physical preparation can help reduce injuries and keep the squad available throughout the campaign. The training sessions have included strength work and short, sharp exercises that leave the players tired but ready for the next day.
