Despite his remarkable club form, his international record tells a different story, with only three goals in 30 appearances for the Canarinha.

Nonetheless, the former Flamengo prodigy aims to improve this statistic at this year's Copa America, where he and his teammates will kick start the competition against Costa Rica on June 25, per GOAL.

Vini's Brazil will face Paraguay four days later before concluding their Group D fixtures against Colombia on July 7.
