Journalist urges Brazil to play ‘for’ Vini Jr: “He’s the best” | OneFootball

Vinicius Júnior is Brazil’s main player at the moment

The Brazilian National Team has been training in recent days for the final friendlies before the start of this year’s World Cup. As a result, there has been talk of the team playing for Vinicius Júnior, the squad’s star and former Flamengo player. With that in mind, journalist André Rizek questioned the decision.

“Vinícius Júnior is big enough for the Brazilian National Team to start thinking about playing around him. He is the best Brazilian player today”, journalist André Rizek said during a program on SporTV, the pay-TV channel, this Wednesday (25).

— We keep debating what the Brazilian National Team could look like with Neymar, but the debate could be different: how can the Brazilian National Team play for Vinícius Júnior, who is currently our greatest talent? —, the journalist concluded.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT BEHIND THE DECISION?

Carlo Ancelotti worked with Vinicius Júnior at Real Madrid (ESP), where he made the team champions and turned the former Flamengo player into the best in the world. Therefore, now in charge of the Brazilian National Team, the experienced Italian coach wants to repeat that formula at the World Cup.

Under Carlo Ancelotti, Vinicius Júnior won the Champions League twice, scoring in both finals: first against Liverpool (ENG), then against Borussia Dortmund (GER). In addition, the former Flamengo player received FIFA’s ‘The Best’ award.
