Who Else Noticed Vini Jr.’s New Look!

Facebook post: Oh My Goal
Was going through my social media feed on Facebook and saw the new transformation with Vini Jr’s look and this is not even about Vini Jr because the first thing that came into my head was, low self esteem. Low esteem is not something that is peculiar to a poor person or a big man, it is something that emanates from a person’s mindset. I do not see the need why the first thing that comes to your mind after making money is to adjust this and that from your body because you want to look socially appealing to yourself and to people. What if that money goes or what if you don’t have the money to maintain it and there is a need for you to do so? You end up depressed I guess. The problem with self esteem is it affect how you carry yourself or how you regard yourself in the eyes of the people. You can even transform yourself to look like Jason Momoa and still have esteem issues because you have allowed that to affect you mentally and that’s the scary part of it.

How many of these young footballers and athletes have done this before that you are we of and how many are most likely to go this route based on your observations?

I don't think it's easy to jump to conclusion about Vini Jr.'s self-esteem. Maybe he's had facial harmonization something like chin enhancement and beard enhancement, i dunno, but I've heard people say that on various social media.

If that's the case, then cosmetic procedures and low self-esteem shouldn't always be equated. It's nothing new for athletes to invest in their fitness, hairstyle, tattoo, dental work or facial aesthetic.

It can also be for branding, public image or self-confidence. We can't know for sure what their mental state is from outside.

It was his choice to make so there is no reason to try to sum it up to low self esteem, I get that he got alot of negative comments online about his look before now but that mainly came from haters and not fans, who knows, maybe he's wanted to do this for most of his life, it doesn't necessarily have to be because people started throwing insults at him for his look, maybe he would have done it regardless of whether or not people talked about it.

Do you remember Cristiano Ronaldo's gummy smile, crooked teeth and skin treatments? After joining Manchester United this young Ronaldo spent lot of money on these. Dental veneers and facial cosmetic work played big role in global brand he is today.

I do not see the need why the first thing that comes to your mind after making money is to adjust this and that from your body because you want to look socially appealing to yourself and to people.

In fact, even if you change yourself on outside, if you don't have inner mental confidence then it's nothing more than a temporary, tasty plaster.

However, in Vini's case, the matter goes little deeper.
Since joining Real Madrid at the age of 18, the amount of racism and online bullying he has endured, not only for his performance, but also for his appearance, smile type and skin color, is enough to shake mental health of any person.

I think that low self-esteem was not his main objective here.
Rather real attempt was to silence the critics and establish himself as polished global brand.
