Much has been discussed about the position of Vinicius Jr. in today’s world football and he has earned a place among the best based on talent and good performances, even Carlo Ancelotti came to name him the best in the world.
It has been decisive in the Champions League and other titles in the Real Madrid, however His performances with the Brazilian National Team have been something less than a tear and he still cannot put on that mantle of leader that those who see him as Neymar’s successor demand of him.
The same thing happens with Rodrygoa decisive player with Real Madrid, but who with Brazil has not managed to have a consecrating matchhe even failed the decisive think that left his team out of the Qatar 2022 World Cup against Croatia.
Today Rodrygo regained confidence after a slump with Real Madrid and was able to score a goal in the Merengues’ victory against Braga as visitors in Portugal, something that has not happened with Brazil, and for which the fans are still waiting.
Vinícius Jr.’s numbers with Brazil
Analyzing Vinícius’ numbers with Brazil is realizing the Real Madrid player’s poor performance with his national team. He only has three goals and three assists in 23 games with the Canarinha.
Dressed in yellow, Vinícius has not been even the shadow of what he is with Real Madrida situation that worries a team that asks him to take center stage after Neymar’s serious injury.
In the game against Venezuela, He was tied up by 31-year-old full-back Alexander González, who plays for Caracas FC and who according to Transfermarkt is valued at $300,000 dollars. Vinícius is 23 years old, plays for Real Madrid and according to Transfermarkt is worth $150 million dollars.
Brazil needs the best version of Vinícius in the absence of Neymar already knowing the talent of a player who has flashes of Jogo Bonito, but who until now has outgrown his country’s shirt.
Rodrygo has been decisive for Real Madrid and non-existent for Brazil
For its part, Rodrygo is valued at $100 million dollars and his performances have not convinced the Brazilian fans at all.much less to the romantics who long for the time of Brazil that was scary.
The 22-year-old footballer barely has a goal with the senior team and the performance is increasingly gray, in a team that has just completed a nightmare on the last day of the playoffs.
In the absence of Neymar, Vinícius and Rodrygo have to take center stage, since the Canarinha and the circumstance warrant it.
