Recently, former Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti took charge of the Brazil national team, bringing his wealth of experience to a squad filled with players he’s already worked with at club level. The Italian tactician is well-acquainted with both the strengths and weaknesses of his new charges.

Details: Ancelotti highlighted the extraordinary talent of forward Vinicius Junior, noting that his drive to shine for the national team is accompanied by immense pressure. Yet, this pressure has not stopped him from being a true leader on the pitch.

Quote: “He’s exceptional, fantastic, hard-working—a real fighter. Brazilian players are deeply devoted to their national team, and that can sometimes influence their natural mindset.

He’s under tremendous pressure to perform well, and that makes it harder for him to make mistakes. I’m confident he’ll give everything for the national team. He’s one of the best in the world. He’s always there,” Ancelotti said in an interview with Marca.
