“Vinicius is one of the best in the world today”

“This is not the time,” responded one of the press officers of Tottenham Hotspur when approaching Lucas Mora (Sao Paulo, 1992) with a question about Kylian Mbappe and the PSG, where he spent five years of his career. Previously, the Brazilian had no hesitation in placing the ‘spurs’ between Champions and Premier League candidates, and in praising his countryman Vinicius: “It’s unbelievable”.

Mourarecently recovered from an injury that kept her in dry dock for two months, being treated EFE after stepping on the green again with the victory of Tottenham Hotspur he is new Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.

How about playing again, and returning with success?

“Answer: Today we played very well, especially in the first half, then we lost control in the last ten minutes. It shouldn’t have happened. I’m happy for the three points, it’s a very important game and now we have to think . about the next one.”

It’s your fifth season at Tottenham, you’ve just come back from a major injury, what do you see this season?

“The first thing is that I am very happy to be back. It was very difficult to be out for two months and finally I can play again. I feel good, I look good. My goal is to help the team, to be an important player for this team, for my teammates, support as much as I can. When I’m on the pitch I always try to leave everything to myself.”

Seeing the current state of Tottenham, the confidence of Antonio Conte, the form of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, can you imagine a repeat of a Champions League like in 2019, when Tottenham reached the final?

“Yes, I think it’s possible. We’re capable of doing it again. Of course we know how difficult all the games in this competition are. It’s the Champions League, there are many good teams, but I see us as very strong. a little, first in the group stage, qualify and then think about what awaits in the future. But yes, I think we can do well in the Champions League”

Do you also see candidates for the Premier League?

“We are also candidates, yes. It is a bit the same, it is another competition that is very, very hard. But right now, we are very close to those at the top, to the leader, to Arsenal. We are a very complete and very strong squad, with great stars. We can let ourselves dream, but we are only at the beginning of the season, we have to think match by match”

The World Cup is near and Vinicius is at a spectacular level, what can you say to your countrymen?

“Vinicius is an incredible player. He is one of the best in the world today. He is doing very well and I am very happy for him, because he is Brazilian and that is very good for our country. The only advice that all I can do is give Vinicius keep doing what he’s doing at the moment. He needs to be happy on the pitch, do what he knows, dribble, but above all, be happy. Right now it’s incredible”.
