Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior expressed his disappointment and dissatisfaction with Brazil’s performance after their 4-1 defeat to Argentina in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Despite Vinicius’s participation and the presence of a constellation of stars such as Rodrygo and Raphinha, Brazil’s performance against Argentina was very poor, posing a real threat to the team’s future.
After the match, Vinicius spoke angrily, saying, “We played very poorly, while Argentina played a great match in front of their fans.”
He added, “We have to rethink everything we’ve done. This can’t happen. We must improve and not give up. There’s only one year left until the World Cup.”
He continued, “Today we went into the dressing room and there wasn’t much to say. Let’s reflect a little on what we did on the pitch.”
He concluded, “We need changes in the national team. I played one World Cup and lost, and I don’t want to lose another one.”
It is worth noting that Brazilian media outlets have confirmed that the dismissal of coach Dorival Junior is closer than ever, as a first step towards reform before the World Cup in North America.
