Dorival praises Vinicius

The Brazilian coach, Dorival Junior, this Friday praised the “practically perfect” match of Vinicius, author of two goals in 1-4 victory over Paraguayon the second day of Group D of America Cup from the United States.

“Vini played a practically perfect game, created good shots, great plays; always very dynamic, very effective, direct and participatory,” the coach highlighted in a press conference, in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The forward of real Madrid He opened the scoring in the 35th minute and scored the second on his own account in stoppage time of the first half to make the score 0-3 and forget the setback of the first day against Costa Rica (0-0). “That’s just what we want to see from these types of players, who are individually gifted,” he said.

Dorival emphasized that Albirroja’s “totally different” stance, less closed at the back, with respect to Costa Rica, also favored them. “Maybe we didn’t have the possession in the last game, but the effectiveness was greater. The way we played created difficulties for Paraguay in every way,” he said.

In this sense, he considered that all the work done so far and the dedication of the selection group “deserves all praise.” However, he recalled that they had a “very serious problem” at the start due to the midfielder’s mobility. Julio Enciso, who he described as a “very smart” player between the lines, but some “small positional changes” restored the team’s vitality.

“We find the paths when there are approximations” in between Vinicius, Lucas Paquetá, Rodrygo, Savinho, Raphinhaetc., he explained In this context, he once again asked the fans for “a little patience”: “This team is on its way and we will find that path.”

Brazil will try to close its qualification for the quarterfinals of America Cup and, incidentally, the leadership of Group D against Colombiawhich adds two to two and has a 25 game unbeaten streak.
