From January 20 to February 13, Chile will host a tournament among the youth teams of South America, at which Brazil U-20 will be represented..

These competitions are not included in the FIFA calendar, and therefore clubs have the right to ignore them and not to let their players in the location of national teams.

Real Madrid, who banned Vinicius from participating in the tournament, took advantage of this right - informs AS.

Last month, Vinicius, in an interview with ESPN, said that he knew about the right of clubs not to let their players go to the tournament, but expressed the hope that he would be allowed to play U-20 for Brazil. As a result, Real made another decision..

Earlier, the legendary Brazilian Cafu said that Vinicius could be the “new Ronaldo” for Real.
