Ancelotti owes me: Vinicius to collect special reward after Brazil head coach’s promise

The winger was the star of the show as the Selecao clinched the top spot in Group C and advanced to the knockout stages.

While Brazil cruised to a comfortable win in Miami, it was Vinicius who stole the headlines with a post-match revelation about a private bet with his manager. 

The forward scored twice, but his second goal—a rare header—was the subject of a light-hearted challenge.

Vinicius Jr. mentioned that he expects a unique gift from Carlo Ancelotti after completing a task the manager thought was "impossible" during the match against Scotland.

"I'm not worried about the numbers, but rather about doing my job as best as possible to help the Selecao," Vinicius told SporTV. 

"I am very happy with the goals. Today there was even a header, which I had promised the coach I would score. He said it was kind of impossible and that he would pay me a gift. So I'll wait."

Beyond the bet with Ancelotti, Vinicius's performance placed him among a select group of Brazilian legends. 

His goals in Miami made him the eighth Brazilian player to score in every group stage match of a single World Cup, a feat accomplished by some of the nation's most iconic figures.

With their place in the round of 32 secured, Ancelotti's Brazil appears to be a formidable contender as the tournament enters its critical phase.
