Guti, a Real Madrid legend, has named Vinicius Junior the best player in the world right now because of his tenacity.
The Brazilian international, according to Guti, is the worst opponent a defender could encounter.
Vinicius has had a standout season and has won over the Santiago Bernabeu faithful.
The 22-year-old has scored 21 goals and provided 16 assists in 45 games across competitions for Real Madrid so far this season.
“Vinicius is the best player in the world,” Guti said (via MadridXtra).
“Why? It is because he’s the worst opponent a defender could face; he always turns up [and] he always keeps trying.
“There are other stars that have off games and stop trying, but Vinicius never does. He’s always there.”
