The Namibian dragon.
Florentino Pérez attempted a rant on the Ballon d’Or. Result ? A blowback from Sheefeni Nicodemus, a Namibian journalist, who preferred to take out the crampons rather than the gloves according to Le Figaro.
During the general assembly of socios last Sunday, the Madrid president blurted out: “ In some countries that we don’t even know, there are journalists that no one knows and who came to vote this year. Without the vote of journalists from countries like Uganda, Namibia, Albania and Finland, Vinícius would have won this Golden Ball. » Basically: if Vinícius doesn’t have a trophy, it’s the rednecks’ fault. And that doesn’t happen.
« Florentino Pérez is frustrated »
Asked to respond on the Cadena Ser, Nicodemus did not hesitate to send Pérez back to the locker room: « I suspect these are the words of someone frustrated. » And he continues: « I feel like people from my country and the other countries mentioned don’t have a meaningful vote because we are inferior people. I would just like to know, if I was from one of the major footballing nations and I didn’t agree with his opinion, what would his argument be? »
As a reminder, Namibia, Finland and El Salvador are the only countries not to have put Vinícius Jr. in the top 10. A tragedy for Florentino who still does not know his geography.
