Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
Like every year, after the Ballon d'Or verdict, we wait to find out who voted for whom. For this edition, the choices of the Salvadoran journalist are causing a lot of talk. Indeed, Bruno Porzio did not put Vinicius Jr in his top 10. This is bound to provoke a strong reaction. The main person then explained himself.
The 2024 Ballon d'Or was therefore awarded to Rodri. While we thought that Vinicius Jr was going to be crowned, he is therefore the player of Manchester City which succeeds Lionel Messi on the list. When taking stock of the points awarded to the Brazilian, the vote of the journalist from El Salvador is striking. Having placed Jude Bellingham in number 1 and Rodri in 7, Bruno Porzio did not include Vinicius Jr in his top 10.
Vinicius Jr not in the Top 10
In comments reported by Mark, Bruno Porzio justified his choice in relation to Vinicius Jr. The Salvadoran journalist then explained: “ I don't consider Vinicius Jr as a decisive player in the game. He was able to score important goals, but his movement on the pitch is in a fairly small area ».
“I think he is not a complete player”
« He doesn't contribute in a non-possession phase so I think he's not a complete player and he's not one of the top 10 players in Europe », then concluded Bruno Porzio concerning Vinicius Jr.
