Vini Jr blames one factor for Brazil v Morocco World Cup result

What did Vini Jr say after the draw in Brazil vs Morocco at the World Cup?

The Brazil National Team drew 1-1 with Morocco in their World Cup opener. Scorer of the ‘Seleção’ goal this Saturday (13), Vini Jr pointed to anxiety as the main reason for the team’s below-par performance.

Without a doubt, the pressure of the opener makes it the toughest match of the competition, where we have to adapt as quickly as possible. We conceded very early, and that ended up changing the way we played. To win the World Cup, we’re going to suffer, and we have to be prepared for that,” said Vini Jr after Brazil’s match.

Vini Jr is one of the main stars of the current Brazil National Team squad for the World Cup. Right in the opener, the former Flamengo player already gave the Canarinho’s upcoming opponents at the tournament a glimpse of what he can do.

After Brazil fell behind on the scoreboard, Vini Jr made a run down the left side of the attack. In an individual play, the current Real Madrid (ESP) forward cut into the box and, with a powerful shot, leveled the score in New Jersey, United States.

WHAT DID VINI JR SAY ABOUT HIS PERFORMANCE IN BRAZIL VS MOROCCO?

Still speaking in the interview after last Saturday’s match (13), Vini Jr gave his personal assessment of the performance. In his remarks, the Ninho graduate made it clear that he was not at his best physically and said he needs to improve as the tournament goes on.

I believe I can improve a lot more; I wasn’t at 100% of my best technical level. I believe I can improve on that and help Brazil more in attack, but I also helped a lot in defense, where everyone did an impeccable job. But as I said, we need to improve if we want to win the competition,” Vini Jr stressed.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S SITUATION IN WORLD CUP GROUP C?
