Like all coaches in the world, Domenico Tedesco was invited to give his three nominees for The Best trophy. And the Red Devils coach did not vote for Vinicius Jr!
Obviously, Domenico Tedesco is not the biggest fan of Vinicius Jrwho won the trophy this Tuesday The Best rewarding the best player in the world according to FIFA. A sort of “competitor” trophy for the Ballon d’Or which will act as compensation after the Brazilian finished second behind Rodri.
But for the Belgian national coach, Vinicius should not have won this trophy either, which was presented to him this Tuesday in Doha, the capital of Qatar. In Tedesco’s top three, there is no trace of the Real Madrid player, despite having had a major year.
Domenico Tedesco placed FC Barcelona prodigy, Lamine Yamal, at number 1, author of a phenomenal Euro 2024 (he was voted best youngster there) and an equally impressive first half of the season with the Catalan club. In second place, the German heart has spoken since Tedesco places Florian Wirtz, German champion with Bayer Leverkusen and also author of a great Euro.
Tedesco’s third vote goes to Erling Haaland. Not a single point, therefore, for Ballon d’Or Rodri, injured it is true throughout the second half of 2024 but who still finished second in The Best behind Vinicius Jr.
The Belgian media voter, Kristof Tacteur, voted for Rodri, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham.
