The Brazil coach has the Real Madrid attacker, for whom he asks to wait to see his best version.
The Brazilian coach, Tite, asked this Wednesday for “patience” with the evolution of Vinícius Júnior in Canarinha and affirmed that he is working to recover the best version of Philippe Coutinho, who returned to a call-up after a long absence.
With Vinícius, “you have to have patience and understanding” so that over time “he can assert himself within the team itself,” as he is doing now at Real Madrid, Tite told reporters on the eve of the match against Colombia for the South American qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar.
In this sense, he indicated that he, as a coach, can “create a receptive environment” for the attacker, with the aim that “he can have that development” that he is already beginning to show in his club.
“He went through a fairly long adaptation time at Real Madrid. We have to have that awareness in the selection about the preparation of the players, “he recalled.
Despite his good start to the season, Vinícius was only cited by Tite for the games against Colombia and Argentina after Liverpoool striker Roberto Firmino was injured.
On the other hand, the Brazilian coach also spoke at a press conference about Coutinho, who has faced criticism from the Spanish press for his alleged “lazy” attitude towards FC Barcelona.
“Today’s Couto is not the best Couto, but it is a great Couto, with a high level player projection”, He admitted.
In this context, he assured that he will try to “help” him to rescue that footballer who was seen in English Liverpool.
“This process is also up to us,” he said.
“Talent is not disputed. He has that talentWhat we have to do is resume that process so that he can be the great player that he is again ”, he added.
Brazil is the undefeated leader in the South American qualifiers, with 31 points from 11 games, and can guarantee its mathematical qualification for Qatar 2022, if it defeats Colombia and Uruguay does not defeat Argentina on Friday. (D)
