With Neymar’s presence at the World Cup, Vinicius cleared up the doubts about who would be the team’s “10”. “I don’t know my number at the World Cup, but the ‘10’ is for Neymar, that’s obvious”.
Vinicius’s words were highly valued in Brazil, especially because Neymar will return to a World Cup after complicated months due to doubts and injuries.
Although on social media there was also room for those who questioned Vinicius in the first place “Vinicius did not deserve that shirt”, casting doubt on whether he had what it takes to wear Brazil’s mythical number.
