The Rigorous Life of Vinicius Junior: Insights from His Partner

Being one of the most recognized football players in the world comes with its own set of demands. Vinicius Junior, a player for Real Madrid, is well aware of this, and his girlfriend, Virginia Fonseca, has recently disclosed some intimate details about their life together.

The life of a professional footballer is governed by strict rules regarding schedules, rest, meals, treatments, and daily products—all meticulously organized to minimize uncertainty in the Brazilian star’s life. These guidelines extend well beyond training sessions at Valdebebas and matches wearing the Real Madrid or Brazilian national team jerseys.

Virginia Fonseca has revealed some of the intimate aspects of the control Vinicius exercises over his private life. In an interview with the Brazilian website Leodías, she emphasized that every decision he makes is subjected to prior scrutiny to ensure it is the best possible choice. “You have to have a schedule for everything, and you must follow it to the letter,” she explained to the journalist.

This exacting control has led Vinicius to experience situations that would be unimaginable in a typical relationship, even impacting their intimate life. Virginia recounted an anecdote involving a product prescribed by her gynecologist, which, due to its nature, could have posed a serious risk. “When I was informed of that, I started to tremble. I thought, ‘Oh my God! Did I use something I shouldn’t have? I swear, I began to shake,'” she recalled.

Although she confirmed that the product had no adverse effects on Vinicius’s career as a professional athlete, she detailed how he communicated the importance of transparency: “He told me, ‘Virginia, you need to let me know about anything you plan to use beforehand. For instance, if I went to the gynecologist and need to use a cream, I have to consult with my physiotherapist, as it might result in a doping positive test.'”

Such slips have, in the past, adversely affected athletes. An inadvertent use of a cream or unintentional contact with a substance can lead to a positive doping result. Vinicius Junior’s disciplined life is designed to keep such consequences at bay.
