For the first time in history, a club turns its back on the renowned award from France Football magazine. Real Madrid's management decided not to take their team, which will be chosen as the best of 2023/2024. Because Vinicius Júnior is not the best in the world
Real Madrid's management did not tolerate the enormous injustice.
The Spanish club would use its private plane.
I would take the entire delegation and Technical Committee to Paris.
The trip would be a celebration.
For Vinicius Júnior's more than expected Ballon d'Or win.
The trophy is awarded by the French magazine France Football.
There are 100 journalists from all over the world who choose the best player on the planet.
Vinicius Júnior had a perfect season for the club.
He won the Champions League, being a huge highlight.
Just like Espanyol and the Spanish Super Cup.
He had exceptional performances.
Only in the Brazilian team did he fail to perform.
But it was, by far, the best on the planet.
The most important French sports newspaper, L'Equipe, today released the popular poll for the awards.
The Brazilian came first, with 41.3% of the votes, Rodri, from Manchester City, came second, with 13%.
The blog discovered: Vinicius Junior was so sure that he called his personal hairdresser to give him a special cut for the award ceremony.
But, contrary to what France Football says, the 2024 winner will not receive the announcement right away.
But before.
The magazine wants to be sure that he will be at the awards.
And Real Madrid management learned today that Vinicius Júnior was not chosen.
The revolt was enormous.
The immediate decision.
Historic boycott of the awards.
It didn't matter to president Florentino Pérez knowing that Real Madrid would receive the award for the best team in the world in the 2023/2024 season.
Not even that Carlo Ancelotti could have been chosen as the best coach.
Much less Lunin, the best goalkeeper.
Or Güller, the best under-21.
No travel.
One of the biggest explanations for such injustice is Vinicius Júnior's behavior.
The way he confronts racists who insist on persecution.
Many European journalists take the opposite path.
They believe that the fact that Vinicius Júnior dances when he scores goals is an affront.
Provocative posture.
When it is exactly the opposite, it is reactive.
Scoring goals, dribbling and dancing is his response to the inertia of the Spanish Football Federation, UEFA and FIFA.
Brazilians are called 'monkeys' not just because they are black.
Because he is the opposing player who can unbalance any match, destroy the racists' teams.
An important part of the Spanish press adopts this discourse and blames Vinicius Júnior for the persecution.
The more than likely victory of Rodri, a midfielder who won the Euro Cup with Spain, and plays for Manchester City, is absolutely unacceptable.
In the face of much more productive, effective football from the Real Madrid striker.
Wearing the Real Madrid and Brazilian national team shirt, Vini Jr. scored 26 goals in 49 games, in addition to 11 assists.
Rodri played 63 games, with 12 goals and 14 assists.
It is a heavy blow for the Spanish club.
And also to the Brazilian team.
Having the best player in the world is a reason for pride and respect.
And also financial return, appreciation of the cast.
The last Brazilian to receive this recognition was Kaká, in 2007.
The fast had to end today.
But Vinicius Júnior was wronged.
The world of football is outraged.
Real Madrid much more.
Fighting racism took its toll on the victim.
It's revolting.
The best in the world is, yes, Brazilian.
The only reason he won't get the trophy is due to blind persecution from the European press…
