Neymar hails Vini Jr , Rodrygo wants Ancelotti to coach Brazil
Real Madrid is home to some of Brazil’s finest talents of the next generation. Vincius Jr.
and Rodrygo Goes, at 23 and 22 years of age respectively, are already well-established in the Brazilian National Team.
Further, Los Blancos house Eder Militao, one of the nation’s best defenders, and Brazil’s most exciting upcoming talent Endrick, who will join the club next summer.
Neymar Jr. spoke recently in an interview where he gave his two cents on whether Vini Jr. and Rodrygo could succeed him as the protagonists in the Brazilian national team, in the years to come.
“Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo are players of great quality, stars who I’m certain will take on this role. In my opinion, they already are because they already have the name for it, regardless of me,” he said, as quoted by AS.
“I am happy that they are reaching this level, that they are already at this level and are helping the Brazilian team, which is very important. They are two boys that I really like. Vini and Rodrygo are two friends, I talk a lot with both of them,” he added.
The Al Hilal winger then spoke on Ancelotti’s potential appointment as the head coach of the Selecao and what it would mean to him to work with the Italian tactician.
“If Ancelotti becomes Brazil’s manager, he’ll be very well received. He’s a renowned person who has won everything in his career. If I get the chance, I’ll obviously enjoy it very much. I’ll try to learn as much as I can from him.
“I’m talking here, but I don’t know anything, I’ve never spoken to the president or anyone. If it is Ancelotti, he will be very well received, he is a renowned guy, who has won everything in his career.”
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Ancelotti. It is not hard to see why the possibility of managing Brazil could be exciting for him.
He is 64 years of age and has achieved everything that is there to achieve in club football, in leagues across Europe.
On the other hand, Brazil have been searching for a World Cup for a long time now, having won their last one back in 2002. They have not really come close since then. Could Ancelotti be the man to finally guide them back to the top?
