Former Real Madrid winger Jesé Rodríguez has spoken to El Larguero about several topics, including Vinicius and the transfer rumors to Saudi Arabia.

If I were Vinicius, I wouldn't go to Saudi Arabia. He's at the best club in the world. I think the club sent a message by putting the captain's armband on him.

It was a proud moment for the 24-year-old, who showed that the club believes he is a leader and a huge contributor to its future. Vinicius was as surprised with the decision, not believing it could happen.

It's something different because you never imagine it could happen to you. I'm happy with the team's match and for being the captain of the biggest club in the world in a Cup semifinal. It's something inexplicable, and I have no words to imagine it
