However, in a chat with Ibai Llanos on his YouTube channel, Vinicius stated that Carlo Ancelotti can help guide them to a sixth World Cup.
“I’ve won many things, but I want to keep winning. We haven’t won a season, and that’s very difficult for us. This year, I hope to win our sixth star with Brazil.
“He (Ancelotti) has changed the face of the team. We play better, we are happier and more relaxed. For me, his arrival is the best thing that has happened. He could be my grandfather.
“Whenever he calls me, he tells me we’re going to win the World Cup. He’s already speaking Portuguese; he’s learning it very quickly.”
