It took a while, because they say that figures and geniuses are very reluctant to show their true capacity, but when they do, it has to be in a big way, like this Friday when lthe star of Real Madrid Vinícius Júnior he forgot about his trivialities and started playing to lead Brazil to a 4-1 victory to a performance against Paraguay in the second date of this competition.
It was certainly the night that everyone was waiting for and now Vinícius was not stingy with his ability on the pitch to take the team on his shoulders and put the cherry on the cake in the first great performance of the South Americans. after a first day where they left many questions after their draw with Costa Rica.
Now Vini had the magical night he needed and after a forgettable debut, where he was the most highlighted by critics, the figure of Real Madrid He was present when Brazil needed him most, when the classification was all or nothing.
That’s why the night ended up being like a suit, turning on all the spotlights that were pointed at him like a wall. and ended up being the hero of the night and the justification for this new generation of Brazilian players.
The truth is that the “Scracht du Oro” made the best of the script written by Dorival to get the engines going and with a spectacular trio with Bruno Guimarães, Lucas Paquetá and João Gomes, They gave free rein to a high-octane night that reminded us of authentic figures such as Zico, Socrates, Leandro, etc.
It is true that nothing was easy and that for a moment it was thought that the Guaraníes had seen that jgame and that now they could complicate the existence of the Brazilians until the star of the Merengues arrived to start the engines and head towards a clear victory for Brazil
Thus came Vinicius’ two goals and with it a whole series of arrivals that made one think of the worst and returned the mind to what happened against Costa Rica, but fortunately they were able to resolve the actions correctly
The reality is that Brazil leaves Las Vegas with its homework done and with Vini as the MVP of the match. Colombia awaits in Santa Clara in the decisive match of this group of death. The Canarinha still has a chance to be group leader and avoid an early final in the quarterfinals against Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay.
