Vinícius: 'Ancelotti Tells Me Every Time That We'll Win the World Cup'
Vinícius is brimming with confidence — Ancelotti is learning Portuguese and promising Brazil the world title.
Vinícius Júnior makes no secret of Brazil's ambitions for 2026. Speaking with Ibai Llanos, the Real Madrid forward was emphatic — it's time for the Seleção to end their 24-year wait for a sixth world title.
And much of that confidence comes from Carlo Ancelotti. "He changed the face of the team. We play better, we're happier, and more at ease," Vinícius shared. "Every time he calls me, he tells me we'll win the World Cup. He's already learning Portuguese — and he's learning it very fast."
For a national team that has disappointed on the world stage for two decades, that kind of belief from the coaching staff could be exactly what they've been missing.
