The qualification campaign for the 2026 World Cup continues to be very chaotic for Brazil. Crushed by Argentina in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday (4-1), the Seleçao still fell from above. On its last four outings, the Vinicius Junior team won only one match (2-1, against Colombia), also conceding two draws. The trend is not good and that greatly worries the Real Madrid winger.
In comments pronounced just after defeat and relayed by
RMCVinicius Junior said his concern, just over a year from a World Cup for which Brazil is not yet qualified. “We are going back to the locker room and there is not much to say. We played very badly and Argentina made a very good performance in front of its supporters. »» For the Brazilian, the time is downright for change. “We have to rethink everything we do. »»
The Madrid is actually very afraid of what could happen to Seleçao, if by chance she came to qualify for the World Cup. Vinicius does not want to relive what he experienced in Qatar in 2022. “Only one year left before the World Cup. I have already played one and I don't want to lose again. »»
An allusion to the end of the premature adventure that Brazilians knew three years ago, with a road trip from the quarter-finals against Croatia (1-1 AP, 4-2 at TAB).
Change and the desire to get there
Vinicius Junior then mentioned the composition of the team, not hiding that some adjustments should be made.
“We have to do a lot of different things to create a large cast. Everyone knows the weight of this jersey and everything that implies. You have to improve and keep your head high without ever giving up. »»
For the offensive Auriverde, Brazil would even be well inspired to follow the example of an Argentina whose players
“Have been working together for a long time”. More than ever aware of the work that remains to be done for the Seleçao of Dorival Junior, Vinicius Junior wants to believe in a rebirth of a Brazil which is struggling to rebuild itself for several years.
