[Real Madrid](https://www.managingmadrid.com) attacker Vinicius Junior talked to Real Madrid TV after the team’s training session in Miami. There, he shared his thoughts on the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup and the expectations for what’s ahead.
“We are eager to win this first World Cup because people never forget the first one, and it’s the only title that Madrid doesn’t have. We’re going for it. I arrived last night. I reunited with my friends, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time. I’m very happy and ready to adapt to the schedule, the heat, the weather, and everything else. We’re all here, ready to go,” said Vinicius.
The attacker was asked about Real Madrid’s new coach Xabi Alonso. Vinicius revealed that he had a conversation with Alonso before the two actually met on Saturday.
“We are training very hard but today has been a bit more relaxed because of the trip. We are already preparing for the matches. I had already talked with the coach before. I am very happy and now it’s time to keep working to win many things with him,” he explained.
Vinicius wrapped up this brief interview by revealing how tough it will be to play in Miami at 03:00pm.
“It’s very hot here. The game is at 3pm and we have to be prepared because it’s going to be very tough,” he added.
