Ronaldo to Vinicius: “The strongest in the world is Brazilian and black”
—
Strong words from the Brazilian legend who spread a long message through his social channels: “And speaking of regaining respect for Brazilian football, look at it there. Maximum respect! They’ve passed 16 years old since the last time the world’s best player trophy arrived in Brazil. Now it is deservedly in Vini’s hands, it means much more than his decisive role in matches and the extraordinary numbers of the 2023-2024 season. Your talent would be enough for the award, but your power goes far beyond the pitch.”
“We’re talking about one of today’s most valuable players, victim of racism often inconceivable television. – said the former Inter player – How many anonymous Vinicius are represented by him? How many victims scattered everywhere? Symbol of resistance and resilience, today Vini also leads the anti-racist fight in world football, where impunity is as widespread as attacks. And those who stay silent are no less racist. Failure to do so – especially by authorities who have the legal power to address and punish such practices – further reinforces the culture of erasure and disrespect for Black people.”
Ronaldo concludes the message with an equally strong message: “They tried to erase you, my friend. And you threw a ball. The best player in the world is Brazilian and black!“. Vinicius’ social comment was immediate: “You are our idol. Thank you for so much joy and advice.”

Vinicius himself then spread his social message: “Veni, vidi, vici. Today I am writing to that boy who has seen so many idols lift this trophy… his time has come. Or rather, my time has come. It is the moment to say… yes, I am the best player in the world and I fought hard for this.”
“They tried and still try to discredit me, to belittle me. – wrote the Brazilian ace – Nobody will tell me who I should fight for, how I should behave. When I was in São Gonçalo, the system didn’t care about me and I was almost swallowed. I won for myself, for my family, finding a lot of support along the way: Flamengo, Real Madrid, Brazilian national teamhundreds of teammates over the years… the people who accompany me every day, those who admire me. I’m the best player in the world“. Vinicius thus celebrates The Best Fifa 2024.
