The Brazilian national team lost their match against Paraguay and complicated their direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup. One of the players most criticised was Vinicius, who after the match was self-critical of the role of the ‘Canarinha’.

Brazil is not going through its best moment. The ‘Canarinha’ lost again in a qualification phase that is not going well at all, and their presence in the next World Cup is starting to get complicated. The defeat against Paraguay leaves the national team, Dorival and some of its stars, such as Vinicius, in a very bad way.
The Real Madrid winger was one of the most criticised. The truth is that his performances for his country have nothing to do with his performances for Real Madrid, where he is considered one of the best players in the world.
"Vinicius can't play just because his name is Vinicius. It's time for him to give a bit more. It's time to move, not just stand still on the left. He insists on individual play to show that he is the same player he is at Madrid. The coach has to call his attention to him so that he releases the ball earlier", commented the programme “Jovem Pan”.
Despite the criticism, despite the bad result, the Real Madrid player became a spokesman for the team and was self-critical after losing against Paraguay on Tuesday.
"We want to reverse this situation in Brazil at any cost. Let everyone go home now and think to reflect immediately on what we have to improve, what we have to do to get back to playing well," he told the media.
"We can't come here, lose those points and play the way we played. In Europe, the ball comes faster down the pitch, we have to adapt to play in the best way to win games. By winning, we'll have more peace of mind to play differently," Vinicius said.
