Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr has lavished praise on Brazil’s manager Carlo Ancelotti, highlighting the Italian coach’s ability to instil confidence and maximize each player’s strengths. Speaking to the media, Vini Jr explained how Ancelotti’s approach has not only benefited him personally but also contributed to the overall harmony of the squad.
The 25-year-old attacker, a key figure for both Real Madrid and Brazil, described Ancelotti’s coaching style as one that fosters comfort and ensures players feel valued in their respective roles. His remarks also reflected the respect he and his teammates have for the veteran coach’s man-management skills, particularly during Brazil’s qualifying toward a potential sixth World Cup title.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, Vinicius Jr shared his thoughts on Ancelotti’s influence and approach to player management. Romano stated:
Vini Jr on Carlo Ancelotti: Ancelotti is doing what he has been doing at his clubs. He is passing confidence, making everyone feel comfortable, taking advantage of each player’s best characteristics in their positions. He wants to see all the people of Brazil happy.
Ancelotti’s touch goes beyond just the present, with the legendary coach earlier revealing his hopes for young Brazilian talents like Endrick, Vinicius Jr’s teammate at Real Madrid. Softfootball had previously reported that Ancelotti expressed his desire to see Endrick shine on the world stage across multiple World Cups, emphasizing his commitment to nurturing the next generation of football stars.
Vinicius Jr himself has often highlighted Ancelotti’s magic touch, noting how the coach’s guidance has been instrumental as Brazil pushes for their sixth World Cup triumph. The winger’s admiration underscores the broader impact Ancelotti has had, both at Real Madrid and within the Brazilian national team, as he balances experience with the development of emerging talents.
With Ancelotti continuing to blend confidence, tactical acumen, and mentorship, fans of Brazil are eager to see his influence translate into silverware, and potentially another historic World Cup for the Seleção.
