Attacker Vinícius Jr. and defender Eder Militao, both Brazilians from Real Madrid, had a short vacation after their call-up for the Copa América and took advantage of a couple of days off to visit the NFL’s Miami Dolphins facilities in Florida.
With Brazil’s concentration in the United States, both Vinícius Jr. and Militao left Spain for the United States days after winning the 15th UEFA Champions League for Real Madrid and before reporting to Dorival Jr., they were received by the Dolphins .
A video on social networks showed what the meeting between the winger and the center back was like with one of the great stars of the Dolphins, Odell Beckham Jr.
The receiver first met with Vinícius Jr. to whom he gave a Dolphins shirt with the name and number 7 that identifies him in Real Madrid, in a gesture that he repeated minutes later with Militao himself.
Vinícius responded in the same way by giving him a black Real Madrid t-shirt, which he autographed for Beckham Jr.
Beckham Jr. also introduced him to the team’s coach, Mike McDaniel, as well as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, whom he met while presenting the team’s facilities to Vinícius Jr. and Militao.
By the end of the route, Vinícius Jr. was seen happy with the experience and took the opportunity to put on a helmet and gloves to try his luck as a runner for the Florida team.
After the match, both Militao and Vinícius Jr. joined the Brazilian team, with which they will debut on June 24 in the Copa América against Costa Rica.
