Scorer against Barça on Wednesday, Vitinha is in great form at PSG. Deemed weak last season, the Portuguese midfielder has finally made his mark. This is not surprising for former player Mario Silva who believes that Vitinha was too quickly underestimated.
At PSG, the midfielders each have their highlight and take turns. After Manuel Ugarte then Warren Zaire-Emery, it is now Vitinha who takes the spotlight. The Portuguese is irresistible at the moment in Paris. He has already reached 7 goals in Ligue 1 with a great achievement against OM recently. In the Champions League, he was also decisive this week, scoring his first goal of the season against Barcelona. An achievement which then allowed PSG to take the advantage before a sloppy end to the match. However, she confirms that Vitinha is up to the big matches, which was not easy last season.
Vitinha, the intelligent PSG player
Small and not very physically strong, Vitinha is not known for his running speed. Enough to generate certain violent criticism concerning his level at PSG. These attacks were unfair and hasty according to Mario Silva. The former Portuguese player, 2001 French champion with Nantes, analyzed Vitinha’s game in L’Equipe. The Portuguese midfielder from PSG reminds him of Eric Carrière, his former Nantes teammate. Two players slow in their movements but very good technically with a vision of the game above the others.

« He is a player of high collective quality, who always thinks about the game, about how to disorganize the opponent, who provides fluidity because he knows when to accelerate or not. Like Eric, Vitinha doesn’t run fast but he runs a lot, and he goes in the head quickly. Sometimes it’s more important to think fast, execute quickly, be smart in your positioning, than to go fast. As they say here, sometimes the direct path goes this way but we’ll go faster this way », he indicated in the French sports daily. The kind of players that Luis Enrique appreciates and that he will need on Tuesday evening to upset the quarter-final of the Champions League against FC Barcelona. In this case, there will no longer be many of them questioning Vitinha at PSG.
