Tim Vickery

So that's decisions I think he might well live to regret.

You mentioned Ancelotti getting the best out of talent.

There was one thing that even he couldn't solve, and that was Mbappe and Vini Jr.

together.

Well, you know, Mbappé isn't here this time.

So it is Vinny's side.

He gets a lot of criticism in Brazil.

This is, in terms of his international perception, his perception of the Brazil shirt, this tournament is almost make or break for him.

There has been a worry that

that I haven't seen Vinny say it, but certainly Jafinha said it, that Neymar should be in the squad.

He's going to be the guy.

Well, he can't be the guy.

You know, he's not what he was.

The time is now for Jafinha and Vinny to be the guys.

And so this is one of the worries amongst the punditry in Brazil.

that these players are using Neymar as a kind of shield to hide behind.

So in terms of the group dynamics, how that plays out between Neymar and Vinny, I think is going to be very, very interesting.

When he took over after Qatar, it looked like a good mix.

because they needed a generational change.

And he's worked well, and that's what he did with Chile.
