"We want to see the athlete producing at all times, in every moment in the same way he does at the club. We have cycles within the clubs, there are moments when Rodrygo will be the highlight for a month, two months, soon Vini will enter this same condition... We are at the beginning of the season, we can't forget that", pondered Dorival, before completing:


"We always generate great expectations from boys who are still in the process of completing training and physical recovery. It's been an exhausting year. We need to be very calm. This is the same expectation generated by Neymar, who at all times had to be the solution to our problems", said the Canarinho coach.

VINI JR WITH THE BRAZILIAN SELECTION
