Created by Flamengo, Vinícius Júnior is considered one of the best players in the world playing on the left. Another who has also made a name for himself playing for this side is Neymar, who is at Al-Hilal (SAU) and is close to returning to the field after a serious injury. Therefore, the return of number 10 could become a "headache" for Dorival Jr in the Brazilian team. Asked if the two wingers can play together, Zico gave his opinion.
"I don't like comparing players. They are athletes with different characteristics. Neymar has already said what he came for, Vini Jr too, they are spectacular The moment is more favorable to Vinicius, because of the team he plays for, because of Real Madrid's achievements, but he needs to have the same performance for the national team as he has at the club", said Zico, in an interview with the '365 Scores' portal.
"Neymar has already shown this in the national team, unfortunately he had injury problems. In 2018 he had good matches. They are two players who can help a lot. Neymar with the experience, Vini with the skill and speed. Dorival hopes that Neymar will recover well so that he can help our Brazilian team", added Zico.
NEW REAL MADRID TRIO
In addition to preparing For some changes in the Brazilian team, Vini Jr is also having to adapt to the new developments at Real Madrid. That's because the Merengues signed Mbappé. For Zico, the striker can only add to the former Flamengo's football.
"Vini Jr and Rodrygo are among the two best in world football. I hope that success at Real Madrid can be achieved with the Seleção. Mbappé's arrival has everything to improve their quality even further. He is also a spectacular player", said Galinho.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME
So, after receiving praise from Zico, Vini Jr continues to prepare along with the rest of the Brazilian squad. The striker enters the field this Friday (6), at 10pm, in a game against Ecuador, in Curitiba, for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

A journalist guarantees that the way the media treats Mengão is always in an exalted tone, which has left the fans 'spoiled'

This Tuesday (16), journalist André Rizek participated in the Charla Podcast and once again gained prominence on social media when talking about Flamengo. Questioned by Bruno Cantarelli about the way the press treats the club , the SporTV presenter pointed out what he considers a “bad habit” of the red-black fan.
André Rizek: "Flamengo has a noble treatment"
According to Rizek, over the years, the media has created a culture in which the spotlight focuses on Flamengo , while rivals with similar achievements don't receive the same recognition. This behavior, he says, has accustomed fans to always expecting "noble treatment."
"When I came to live in Rio de Janeiro in 2010, my first shock was the media coverage. The first thing I noticed was that Flamengo gets a noble treatment. For example, if Flamengo wins the Guanabara Cup: 'Guanabara belongs to Mengão!' Then Botafogo wins the State Championship: 'Botafogo wins an empty State Championship.' Wait, something's different," said the journalist.
Rizek also cited recent examples to illustrate his point. According to him, any praise given to players from other clubs invariably generates comparisons with Flamengo , as when he praised Jhon Arias when he was still a Fluminense player.
"I said that Jhon Arias was, in my opinion, the best and most complete player active in Brazil. 'But what about Arrasca?' I wasn't talking about Flamengo, I was talking about Arias. You can't praise anything outside of Flamengo. A media culture has been created in Brazil that says: 'To Flamengo, everything; to others, beatings, mockery, belittling, and disrespect.' Flamengo is the most popular club in Brazil, a very powerful brand . But the others also need to be treated with respect," he added.
Despite the criticism, it's worth noting that part of this impact also stems from the engagement of rival fans, a phenomenon dubbed "Flacentrism" by the nation. Since 2019, any prominent team in Brazilian football has been compared to Jorge Jesus' historic team , such as Botafogo in 2024 or Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras. The same goes for players: every prominent number 10 in the country ends up being measured against Arrascaeta.
Because of its successful history and the strength of its fans, Flamengo tends to maintain a privileged position in the media . However, how this prominence is constructed is also influenced by the behavior of fans of other teams.
