Vinicius Jr. reveals Ancelotti promise after Brazil beat Scotland: 'He owes me a present'

Vinicius Jr. said Carlo Ancelotti owes him a present after Brazil secured a 3-0 win over Scotland to reach the FIFA World Cup Round of 32. The Real Madrid forward scored twice in Miami and was named Player of the Match for a second time in the tournament, while continuing his goalscoring form. After the match, Vinicius discussed Brazil’s growing confidence under Ancelotti, describing clearer development despite an inconsistent early start and stressing that knockout stages require players to attack and defend while “digging deep.” He also addressed a VAR decision that ruled out another goal despite his brace. Vinicius framed the moment as disappointing for him personally but said the victory and team improvement are what matter as the tournament enters do-or-die matches.
