It will be fascinating to see how much of the old magic Neymar can conjure, but you suspect if Brazil are to be a fixture at the business end of this tournament, it will be Vincius who will be the catalyst.<\/p>\n
Two goals in two games, including a fabulous equaliser when Brazil were 1-0 down and struggling with the all-round excellence of Morocco, has prevented an underwhelming start to the tournament becoming something more concerning.<\/p>\n
“He’s playing very well,” said Ancelotti, who managed the Brazilian star at Real Madrid before taking over the Selecao in 2025.<\/p>\n
“We need to use him even though we have other fantastic players. We have experience, quality and legs. I’m completely satisfied [in] all of them.<\/p>\n
“I have to put all the players to adapt to the style of the team.”<\/p>\n
And therein lies the genius of Ancelotti – taking the big superstars and their bigger egos and making them work as a cohesive unit.<\/p>\n
He is the most decorated manager in Champions League history with five trophies, and the only man to win titles in all of Europe’s top five leagues.<\/p>\n
But leading Brazil to World Cup success would further elevate the Italian’s claim to be the greatest manager ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
