Vinicius fills Ancelotti with pride and joy

Following the Brazil vs. South Korea game, Vinicius disclosed that Ancelotti is the manager he prefers working under because he maximizes all the inherent talents of Real Madrid’s number 7.

The Brazil national team delivered an impressive performance when defeating South Korea with a 5-0 scoreline in a friendly match held in Seoul early this morning. Under Carlo Ancelotti’s leadership, the Selecão displayed explosive attacking form and excellent coordination among top stars. Two braces from Rodrygo and Estêvao, the 18-year-old Chelsea talent, along with a decisive goal from Vinícius Júnior secured a comprehensive victory for the yellow-green squad.

After the game, Vinícius Junior openly expressed his emotions when mentioning Carlo Ancelotti. The Real Madrid star praised the Italian strategist, whom he regards as “the coach who has given me the most confidence” in his career.

“He has always been the best coach I have worked with, the one who trusted me the most. Under his guidance, I have played my best football.”

“Now that he is leading the national team, I have played three matches, scored two goals, and provided one assist. We aim to continue this path to have an outstanding World Cup.”

The 24-year-old winger also emphasized that the 5-0 victory over South Korea is not only a morale boost but also an important preparation step for the 2026 World Cup, which will begin in eight months in North America.

“We need to prepare as quickly as possible because time is running out. Coach Ancelotti has brought a significant difference in how we play. We press better, defend more solidly, and the whole team is improving day by day.”

Vinícius also complimented his former Real Madrid teammates Casemiro and Eder Militao, who have returned to the national team under Ancelotti. According to him, Casemiro provides “balance and valuable experience in midfield,” while Militão strengthens the defense with his calm and precise style of play.

Coming up, the Brazil national team will face Japan in a friendly match on October 14th. This is seen as an important opportunity for Coach Ancelotti to continue experimenting with the lineup, assess tactical adaptability, and select the best “cards” for the journey to conquer the 2026 World Cup in North America.
