Brazil needs Vinicius to reproduce Real Madrid shape

Carlo Ancelotti emphasized the importance of Vinicius Junior’s production of its shape at Real Madrid to Brazil before the first match of the Italian responsible for Celicao.

Ancelotti was appointed as an alternative to Dorifal Junior last month after his departure as a Madrid coach and has an opening match in the Brazilian Ecuador test in the World Cup qualifiers on Thursday.

He takes five times the world champion with Brazil in a low decline in the aftermath of 4-1 crushing at the hands of Argentina, which put an end to Doriev.

Brazil is 10 points behind Argentina, who have already booked their place in the 2026 finals, in the Worldbol World Cup qualifiers.

Six points from Venezuela, which occupies the qualifying place between the Union, with four games to go, Brazil is still very qualified.

However, while Ancelotti seeks to return Brazil to the top of world football, Veniceus’ struggles at the international level as something to be addressed.

Vinicius has only six goals in 39 capsules for his country. His goal was to beat Colombia in March was the first since double against Paraguay in 2024 Copa America. He has five passes in his career in Brazil.

This is in a blatant contradiction with his shape to Madrid. Even in a disappointing season without the Los & Los Blancos Cup, Vinicius still runs 20 goals and 14 assists in all competitions. After getting the best in Vinicius in Madrid, he sees Anceotti to do the same for Brazil as a priority.

“I don’t know if he is at his best here, but he has time to do what he is doing at Real Madrid,” Ancelotti told a news conference.

“For us, he is a key player. We have to work to ensure his performance at his best here.”

Anctotti is not subject to any illusion because what Brazil requires as a group to improve its performance.

“Yes, I saw that,” Ancelotti said when asked whether he was watching the defeat of Brazil for the world’s heroes in The Minumental.

“No balance. Simple this way. Talent, but no balance.

“Football is not very complicated, in my opinion. The best players must play, but you must be able to find a good balance between them. The keyword in football is” talent “, of course. Without talent you cannot win. But the balance is very important, because the team should be balanced between defense and attack.

“Brazilian players in general have more talent than others. Then you have to find a relationship between talented and other players. Each team does not have 11 talented players – others support talent, by sacrifice, commitment and position.

“I don’t want my team to have a clear identity. Take the game forward, sit, press height, and defense for low – there are a lot of things you need to do to be successful.

“After 40 years, I still do not know the best strategy to win the matches, but I know this depends on the characteristics of your players, and I want to do this with Brazil players, and I collect them with one goal: winning the World Cup.”

Ancelotti, whose contract after the 2026 World Cup expires in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with his job if he is not able to present a sixth world title.

But he does not feel the burden because of the expectation that he must deal with now.

“There is no pressure more than Real Madrid. The pressure is the same.”

“But I shouldn’t think about pressure, I have to think I have a great opportunity. I want to live this period with the best capabilities.”
