During a recent match against Olympique Marseille, Vinicius Jr started from the bench and contributed to the team's 2-1 win.

Mijatovic, who is familiar with Xabi Alonso's coaching style, believes that the manager's approach to player development is key to the team's success.

According to Mijatovic, Alonso's philosophy focuses on giving all players ample playing time in both La Liga and the Champions League.

This approach allows Alonso to assess each player's performance and make informed decisions about their playing time.

Mijatovic advises Vinicius Jr to focus on training and staying enthusiastic, as this will ultimately determine his playing time with the team.
