Brazilian national team winger Vinicius Junior commented on the draw result in the first round match of the World Cup 2026 against Morocco (1:1), recognizing that the team did not show its best football.

" Missing a goal seriously complicating the task. Starting matches at great tournaments are never easy. We need to thoroughly understand and progress with skin growth. The world championship is just starting, there are a lot of easy matches.

I believe that I can significantly improve my game. I scored a goal without technically showing myself 100%. But I believe that I can improve even more and help the team more in the attack. We can improve and develop in order to win the tournament.

At the previous world championship I was significantly younger. The infection has more evidence, and also more virulence. I think I'm ready for anything that awaits me at this tournament. The fields here are changing, it’s even dusty, and we need to adapt, because everything is happening so quickly,” the Brazilian concluded.

Guess what, the match between Brazil and Morocco ended in a 1:1 draw. The only goal against the five-time champions of the world was recorded by Vinicius Junior himself, who was behind the bags of the champions of the match..
