The new and improved Vitinha at PSG has arrived, and this season, he’s taking on a different role. Previously a defensive midfielder, under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, he’s transitioning into more of a playmaking role.
The true essence of Vitinha is gradually revealing itself. He made quite an impression with PSG against Lens at the end of August, and it seems that the Portuguese midfielder is finding his groove in the new Parisian setup.
According to Le Parisien, the departures of Neymar and Messi have had a liberating effect on Vitinha. He now has the freedom to express himself more naturally in his role as a playmaker. In the past, the frequent presence of these two superstar names in his area of the field sometimes constrained his style of play.
Reports suggest that Vitinha had complicated relationships with Neymar and Messi last season, which might have affected his on-field performance. Now, with their departures, he appears to be unburdened, both on the pitch and in his mindset.
As Vitinha continues to evolve and adapt to his new role, PSG fans can look forward to seeing a more confident and assertive player who is ready to contribute to the team’s success without the constraints of the past.
