Former Brazil international and current FIFA ambassador Felipe Melo is currently paying close attention to the Club World Cup. As FIFA ambassador, the former Brazil international not only responded to outside criticism of the event, but also expressed his views on his two compatriots, Vinicius and Rodrigo.

Regarding criticism of the Club World Cup

I know Rafinha has said something, and Klopp has also talked about the game. I think this competition system is great. In Brazil, the attention of this event has even exceeded that of the national team's World Cup. The ratings in Argentina are also very good. I personally like this event very much.

About Rodrigo's future

Rodrigo is a talented player and a regular member of the Brazilian national team. I saw teammates like Bellingham and other players who said he was the best skilled one. Be patient because the team has a new coach, and many things will change in this case.

It is certainly a better choice for him to stay in Real Madrid. But you see, he has won a lot of honors at Real Madrid. I don't know if it would be better to play in a World Cup year, it's something he has to decide for himself. Because of the World Cup, this is very important to him and even more important to the Brazilian national team.

About Vinicius

I think players like Vinicius can always do better. Because he will never reach 100%, we are all human beings. He can always do better because he is fast and skilled. If he scored three goals, he could score four. If you enter two, you can enter three. He could have performed better in the World Cup, but he has already played goals and assists. A game like that for Paris belongs to him because he is a Golden Globe level player and a great player.
