Speaking of the next home game against Paraguay, Vinicius said: "We will go all out, and it is always good to play at home. We haven't played in Sao Paulo for a long time. I'm very happy to play there and hope we can win."
In the 15th round of the South American World Cup qualifiers, Ancelotti made his debut in coaching Brazil and drew 0-0 away. After the match, Vinicius said in an interview: "I am very happy with Ancelotti's arrival. I have always said that he is the best coach I have ever worked with. Of course he has no time to show his work and tactical plans. Everyone needs to be united and optimistic because the World Cup is right in front of us and we must work together to end the World Cup with excellent performance."
