Talent and frankness are two characteristic personality traits of Vinicius. He proved it again this Tuesday evening. After winning the title of best player of the year according to FIFA, the Brazilian did not beat around the bush on social networks.
He published a long message on Instagram signed… “the best player in the world”. A clarification that it is difficult not to associate with his great disappointment at the end of October. He still hasn’t digested Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder Rodri’s Golden Ball victory. The Citizen won with a small 41 point lead. This angered Real Madrid, who had chosen to boycott the ceremony.
“Today I write to this boy who saw so many idols lift this trophy… his time has come. Or rather, my time has come. Time to say… yes, I am the best player in the world and I fought hard for it. They tried and still try to invalidate me, to diminish me. But they are not prepared. No one will tell me who I should fight for, how I should behave. When I was in São Gonçalo (a municipality in Ro de Janeiro), the system didn’t care about me. I almost got swallowed. »
The Real Madrid star also had a word for his clubs (Flamengo, Real Madrid, Brazil national team) as well as his family and fans.
More than five million people have liked this post. The vast majority of his Madrid teammates responded, including Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Aurélien Tchouaméni. Neymar also gave his “like”.
Note that Wiliam Saliba is the only Frenchman elected in the eleven type of the year. Vini, Haaland and Yamal were logically preferred to Mbappé.
