"We have a good rapport with Vinícius just as we have with other players. I have spoken to Vinícius about it, I told him what I thought, that he made a mistake, he understood he had made a mistake and he apologised. I believe the issue is resolved. He is a very important player for us. He can help us a lot."
"We've called up players who I think can help the Brazilian national team in these two games. Players from Flamengo and Roque from Palmeiras, who is doing very well. I haven't spoken to Neymar. We will see when he can fully recover and play again."
Carlo Ancelotti is not concerned about Vinícius Júnior's substitution outburst and states the player apologised and the matter is resolved. Vinícius was included in Brazil's squad for friendlies against Senegal (Nov. 15, Emirates Stadium) and Tunisia (Nov. 18, Decathlon Stadium in Lille). Seven domestic-based players were named, including Flamengo defender Danilo and Palmeiras forward Vitor Roque. The selections prioritize players who can help in the two matches. Neymar did not make the squad while recovering from a muscular injury, and his availability will be assessed when he fully recovers.
