Vinicius Junior: "This is the most special moment of my career"

After a stellar season with Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior is now aiming for an equally impressive World Cup campaign. Brazil's first test comes against Morocco, with the match scheduled for 1:00 AM Bulgarian time tonight.

“This is the most special and important moment of my career,” Vinicius stated. “I've reached the physical and technical level I've always dreamed of, and I haven't had a single injury all season. I've prepared incredibly seriously for this moment.”

“Working with Ancelotti also brings me immense peace of mind because he gives me great freedom and confidence to bring everything I do for Real Madrid here to the Brazilian national team. I believe there's no better place – with these eight matches ahead of us – to change history for our country and for the players. This will be crucial. And here I'm not just talking about goals or assists, but about playing well, instilling the necessary confidence in the team, and securing victories. Wins are what matter most, regardless of the specific situation in the match. That's what will determine how far Brazil goes,” the forward added.
