Dorival expressed, "We want to see players in the condition where he produces at all times, in the same way he does at his club." His comments reflect a need for patience with Vinicius Junior as he faces high expectations similar to those Neymar encountered. Dorival believes that, just like Neymar in past cycles, players like Vinicius should not carry the weight of the team's success alone, which may lead to underperformance.
Discussing the broader issue, Dorival stated, "This same expectation was generated around Neymar, that at all times Neymar had to be the solution to our problems." This highlights the pressure placed on Brazilian players by fans and media. Dorival urges for a collective understanding, suggesting that players should be allowed to develop organically, without the burden of being the sole savior of the national team.
