Portuguese midfielder Vitinha, 25, is now one of the pillars of Paris Saint-Germain. In an interview with Le Parisien, Fernando Santos, former Portugal coach and the first person to call Vitinha up to the national team, praises his major influence on the dynamics of the Parisian club.
Santos “Vitinha has a great influence on the team’s dynamics”
“Right now, he’s one of the best midfielders in the world, without a doubt. Vitinha has a great influence on the team’s dynamics. The confidence with which he takes on his responsibilities is a clear sign of his evolution.
The way he interprets the game and his ability to make decisions make him a key player for PSG. His tactical maturity and character are impressive. He plays with above-average intelligence.”
Strong words, deservedly so, because even if Vitinha had a less exceptional season this year, he remains a formidable regulator of the team. Since his arrival, his influence has only grown, and he is now considered by many to be one of the best in his position.
He loves PSG, but he’s coveted. He looks good at PSG, and his intelligent play fits in perfectly with what Luis Enrique wants. With Paris, he can make history, with the Champions League in his sights. We can’t wait to see him shine in Munich, even if a defeat won’t change what he’s become: a great player.
