Couple Hendy Desilien
In a decisive match against the Paraguayan national football team, Vinicius Jr. delivered an exceptional performance. While many critics questioned his ability to shine with the Brazilian national team, the Real Madrid player responded in the most brilliant way possible. With two goals scored, Vinicius not only led Brazil to victory, but also strengthened his candidacy for the Ballon d’Or.
For several months, Vinicius Jr has faced harsh criticism from fans and the media, who judged him incapable of performing in the decisive matches with Brazil. Indeed, before this match, Vinicius had scored only three goals in 32 appearances for the Seleção, poor statistics for a player of his caliber. These criticisms seem to have served as motivation for Vinicius, who was able to raise his level of play during this crucial meeting.
From the start, Vinicius Jr. was calm and determined. Using his speed and technique, he constantly put the Paraguayan defense in trouble. In the 35th minute, he opened the scoring with a powerful strike, bringing real deliverance to a Brazilian team that had yet to score in this Copa America. But he didn’t stop there. Just before half-time, in added time, Vinicius scored a second goal, consolidating Brazil’s lead and establishing himself as the man of the match.
Throughout the match, Vinicius demonstrated the extent of his talent, stringing together technical moves and daring dribbles, charming the fans present in the stadium. His performance on the night showed that he can carry the team on his shoulders, especially in the absence of Neymar, and guide Brazil towards their goal of winning their 10th Copa America.
_Vinicius Jr’s performance against Paraguay was a clear and unequivocal answer to all his critics. He proved that he can be a leader and that he deserves to be considered as a serious candidate for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. If Vinicius continues in this vein, helping Brazil win and contributing significantly both individually and collectively, he could well become the man favoured to win this prestigious award. Brazil can count on Vinicius Jr to rekindle the flame of victory and restore the greatness of the Seleção.
