Brazil coach: Players' performances are cyclical, Vinicius will get into shape in the future

In an interview with the media, Brazil coach Dorival talked about Vinicius' performance and believed that he could recover in the national team.

"First of all, we want to see players perform at the same level with the national team as they do with their clubs," said Dorival. "In clubs there are cycles, sometimes Rodrygo is the focus for a month, then Vinicius."

"We are at the beginning of the season and the Ecuadorians do not show much physical advantage in 90 minutes, they hardly leave the defense and keep more physical reserves. We try to match them in this regard. The same expectations are placed on Neymar, expecting him to be the solution."

"If we can share the responsibilities properly and make the national team more balanced, he will play a huge role. This is a process of change that we need to respect. This process can sometimes be slow. It takes time and patience, which is what our country lacks. I hope the fans can remain calm."

"We have some players of extremely high level who play for top clubs in Europe and Brazil. I have no hesitation in saying that in two years we will be an attacking team. We are in the process of recovery and we need to be calm and patient."
