Brazil winger Vinicius Junior shared his thoughts after the 1-1 draw against Morocco in the 2026 World Cup group stage.

According to UOL, the star player criticized the hot weather and dry pitch, which he said hindered Brazil's playing style.

"The heat is constant, the grass dries quickly, and that affects the game's pace. We struggle to keep rhythm because we love to play fast passes from one flank to another. The current conditions are not suitable for our style," Vinicius said.

He added that the team must adapt and expects similar conditions throughout the tournament. Brazil will face Haiti next.
