Ancelotti Wants Vinicius To Shine For Brazil

Jun 05, 2025

Brazil's new coach Carlo Ancelotti says one of his top priorities is to improve on Vinicius Jr's form for the national team.  

Vinicius has been a regular for Brazil over the past few years, but so far he has not been able to bring his superb performances for Real Madrid to the international stage.  

Meanwhile, Ancelotti will make his Brazilian debut in tomorrow morning's World Cup qualifier in Ecuador.  

Brazil have yet to confirm their place in next year's World Cup - currently they lie in fourth in the South American qualifying group, with four matches remaining... 

The top six teams gain automatic qualification.
