He told Marca: "His attitude sometimes... He seems angry many times. Cristiano was a bit like that when he was young, but he changed quickly.
"If Vinicius wants to be like Messi, Zidane, Cristiano, Xavi he has to be a bit more respectful with the rival, with the referees... That has to change."
Khedira added, "If Vini changes a bit and is more of a gentleman and more of a leader, he will win three or four Ballon d'Ors."
