Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has once again received an invitation to the Brazilian national team. After learning about this, the striker decided to share his emotions with the fans on social networks. With just one sentence, he managed to show how much he was looking forward to the upcoming games: "See you soon, Japan and Korea," the footballer wrote, adding an emoji with the Brazilian flag.

In October, the wards of the new coach of the national team will have two friendly matches in Asia. On October 10, the Brazilians will face South Korea, and on the 14th they will play against the Japanese national team. These matches are considered as preparation for further qualification meetings of the 2026 World Cup, as well as as an opportunity to test new tactical ideas.



For Vinicius, being called up to the national team has long been a familiar thing, but at the same time, every invitation remains an honor for him. The 25-year-old striker made his debut for Selecao in 2019, and has since played 41 games, scoring seven goals and six assists. He has shown himself especially vividly in recent tournaments, where his speed and dribbling have become a real nightmare for the opponents' defense.

His performances in the qualifying tournament for the 2026 World Cup did not go unnoticed either. In eight qualifying matches, Vinicius scored two goals and one assist, helping the national team confidently stay at the top of the table. For Carlo Ancelotti, who combines his work at Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, the player is a key figure in the attacking line.

Vinicius has firmly established himself among the leaders of the Madrid club in recent seasons. His association with Jude Bellingham and Rodrigo has already become one of the most discussed in Europe, and the footballer himself has repeatedly proved that he is able to decide the outcome of important matches alone. Therefore, in Brazil, they have high hopes for him: it is such players who can return Selecao to the title of world champion, which the country has been waiting for for more than two decades.

The trip to Asia will be a test not only for Vinicius, but for the whole team. The atmosphere at the stadiums in Seoul and Tokyo promises to be really hot, because the national teams of South Korea and Japan are traditionally famous for high-speed football and huge fan support.

even Vinicius' short phrase on social media was a signal to fans: the Real Madrid star is full of energy and determined to give a bright show at Asian stadiums. This means that the October matches promise to be spectacular and may become another page in his rapidly growing international career.
