The forward scored two goals and helped his team to the playoffs from the first place in the quartet. After the match, the football player talked about an interesting agreement with the coach of the Brazilians, Carlo Ancelotti. "I don't care about personal statistics, I care about whether I do everything possible to help the national team. But I am satisfied with my goals. I even scored with a header - I promised Ancelotti that. And he said that it is almost impossible and that he will give me a gift for it. Well, let's wait. The most important thing is to win, to improve our game. It's about continuing to improve even more to reach the next goal, because the playoffs are next," Vinicius said.
