Marcelo Says Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo Still 'Have to Prove Things' at Real Madrid

Real Madrid defender Marcelo has said Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo Goes are aware they still have to prove themselves at the club.

Vinicius (19) and Rodrygo (18) have impressed since making big-money moves from Brazil to Real last year and this summer, respectively.

Marcelo told YouTube channel Que Partidazo (h/t Marca's Virtudes Sanchez):

"The pressure here at Real Madrid is much greater than in Brazil. I don't have many tips to give [Rodrygo and Vinicius], because they are mature and they are one step ahead due to being at Real Madrid.
