00:00Vinicius only performs for Madrid. He's not good enough for Brazil. That's something we've all
00:04heard over the last few years. But at this World Cup, one player has become the backbone of Brazil's
00:08campaign, Vinicius Jr., a goal against Morocco, another man-of-the-match performance against Haiti,
00:13and every time Brazil have struggled, the same player has stepped up. However, the credit doesn't
00:17belong to Vinicius alone. A lot of it also goes to Carlo Ancelotti. It was Ancelotti who transformed
00:22Vinicius into a world-class player at club level, and now it feels like we're finally seeing that
00:26same version of him in a Brazil shirt. For the first time, Vinicius is playing for Brazil the way
00:31he plays for Real Madrid. And when you think about it, Brazil's biggest problem was never the lack of
00:35a striker. It wasn't even the lack of a coach. The real problem was that Brazil's best players
00:39rarely produced their best performances for the national team. Now it looks like that issue is
00:43slowly being solved. If Brazil continue playing at this level, they won't just qualify for the
00:47knockout stages. They could make a very deep run in the World Cup. And the scary part? This Brazil
00:52team is performing like this without Neymar. Just imagine what they could become once Neymar returns.
