Monday evening, the football world had its eyes glued to the 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony. The entire football world, except Real Madrid, who had boycotted the ceremony having more or less understood that Vinicius Junior would not win this award. Indeed, it was Rodri, the Spanish midfielder from Manchester City, who was finally elected by 100 journalists across the planet. Enough to provoke strong reactions, particularly from the supporters of the Brazilian international.
“We will offer him a World Cup final”
Today, it was his national coach Dorival Junior who wanted to make a rant on this subject: “For me, it was unfair, because it was an individual reward and if there was a decisive and lethal player, who showed all his talent last season, it was Vinicius. The majority of Brazilians have become aware of this injustice, Dorival said. God willing, soon, we will offer him a World Cup final. I'm sure a player like Vinicius will have more seasons to confirm what we all know, that he was the best footballer in the world last season“, he said at a press conference. The message is clear.
