Vinicius Jr. echoed this sentiment, asserting his commitment to the World Cup, saying, “I don’t pay much attention to what people say. I know my job and I am very committed to the World Cup; it is where all the players want to be.” He also acknowledged the historical weight of the matchup, noting, “We are not the favourites based on the results we have had. But the history of the shirt, the quality of the players we have here…”
The last encounter between these two football giants was in 2015, making this upcoming match even more anticipated. Brazil has scored in 15 consecutive international friendlies since 2020, showcasing their offensive prowess.
