At the San Juan stadium there were 25,000 witnesses and millions of fans around the world who were amazed by Vinicius’s improvised maneuver against Nahuel Molina with a ‘lambretta’ that will be remembered for a long time. The classic by antonomasia of South American football did not leave goals, but yes, that genius of the 21-year-old Brazilian star that once again reveals Tite. The canarinha coach has been stubborn and reluctant to definitively give the alternative to Vini, who this season had already knocked down the door in Ancelotti’s Madrid with 9 goals and 7 assists. In fact, he was not even summoned for this FIFA date, but Firmino’s injury forced Tite to open his eyes to the barrage of criticism that fell on him in his country for not accepting that the explosion of the Madrid player is already final and that it doesn’t seem to have limits.
The Brazilian coach himself, in the Press Conference after the match was drawn, backed off and accepted the good news for the canarinha as best he could with this phrase: “We have Vinicius very successful playing at the extreme of his profile and that allows us to play more aggressively when attacking spaces with Rapinha and Antony. This gives us a more vertical attack model”.
“We have Vinicius very successful at the end and that allows us to play more aggressively”
Tite
In Brazil and in the rest of the world, the ‘highlight’ of Vini is sweeping, due to the daring of the action and the perfect conclusion of it, since he left the Argentine defender behind and perfectly controlled the ball next to the baseline to give the pass of death. Very much like Neymar from his good times. Yes indeed, he took a treacherous kick from rojiblanco De Paul as a response that was not a penalty by a few centimeters.
Vinicius’s environment, probed by AS, is enthusiastic about the boy. “The kid needed a game like that with Brazil too. As soon as Tite has started him, he has shown him what he is capable of doing with confidence. With Ancelotti it has already been seen these months. If Vini feels the confidence of the technician there are no limits ”.
The player, along with his compatriot Militao who was also a starter, returns to Spain today and tomorrow he will be under Carletto’s orders to help the team from Sunday in Los Cármenes in the tremendous streak of transcendent matches that now remain for The whites. ANDstarting with Granada (4:15 p.m., Sunday), continuing through Moldavia before the Sheriff (day 24) and then Seville (day 28), Real Sociedad in Anoeta (day 4), Inter (day 7) and Atlético (day 12) at the Bernabéu. The Champions League and LaLiga are at stake and Vinicius reaches the top to continue being decisive in the Madrid attack together with Benzema, who has also left with France in this FIFA window. Ancelotti sleeps peacefully with them.
