Copa America 2024 is taking place in the United States for the first time, but the organization of the tournament is raising numerous questions. Earlier, midfielder Weston McKennie from the US national team criticized it, and now the leader of the Brazilian team, Vinicius Junior, has expressed his displeasure.

Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior commented on his team's 4-1 victory over Paraguay in the second round of the continental tournament.

"Playing on these stadiums is difficult due to the condition of the pitches, and referees are not calling obvious fouls against us. CONMEBOL's attitude towards us is tough," said Vinicius.

It's worth noting that the 23-year-old Brazilian had previously criticized the quality of pitches at Copa America, citing the stadiums at Euro 2024 as an example. Both of Brazil's matches were held in the USA.

After the second round, Vinicius's team is in second place in the group. To advance to the playoffs, Brazil only needs to avoid losing the next match against Colombia.
