Brazil national team players greeted their teammate Vinicius Junior with applause and whistles after he was the last to arrive at the training session held on Saturday in preparation for the match against Norway.

Brazil is preparing to face Norway on Sunday in the Round of 16 of the World Cup.

According to Sport newspaper, Vinicius entered the training ground at a time when all the players had already gathered around head coach Carlo Ancelotti to listen to his instructions.

When the players saw the number 7 jersey holder of Brazil, some chose to applaud him, while others jokingly whistled, amid an atmosphere of laughter.

Immediately after, Ancelotti gave a longer than usual speech, waving his right hand as he spoke, with his left hand on his hip, as reported by the EFE agency.
