The striker was one of the highlights of Brazil’s 5-0 win over South Korea, in Seoul, alongside Estêvão and Rodrygo
The Brazilian team has begun the sequence of friendlies preceding the 2026 World Cup, in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Thus, Carlo Ancelotti’s men beat South Korea 5-0 in Seoul, enhanced by the trio Rodrygo, Estevão and Vini Jr. The latter, among other things, made a point of praising the Italian coach and the importance of the result.
“It gives everyone confidence. All the attackers managed to score goals and provide assists, so we gain confidence for the World Cup. We have friendlies, so we have to prepare as quickly as possible. There’s not much time left. We have a new coach, we managed to win matches with the coach. We have to continue like this,” he said.
“He has always been the best coach I have ever had. He was the coach who gave me the most confidence, with whom I played best. He arrived here in the national team, I have already managed to play three matches. The progress I have made with him and with the team is evident. We want to continue like this in order to have an excellent World Cup,” he added.
“Our main goal is to press well. We play with a lot of attackers. If we can’t press well and defend better, it will be a bit difficult. Teams can do well by playing. Helping our defense will be very important. Our best defense is the attack,” he underlined.
Finally, after playing at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, Brazil will face Japan in a friendly this Tuesday at 7:30 am (Brasilia time) (14). In November Carlo Ancelotti’s men will face Senegal, in England, and Tunisia, in France.
