Once again, the best in the world is Brazilian, and once again, he is the one who puts his country at the top – Vinicius Júnior. The Global Soccer Awards elected the Real Madrid player in a ceremony held in Dubai, after votes from the European Club Association and the European Association of Player Agents.
“I am very happy to receive this award, to be in this place with many stars, who I have always followed from afar. I couldn’t help but thank Real Madrid, my teammates and everyone who worked so that I could be here today”, thanked Vini upon receiving the award.
With Vini voted best in the world also by FIFA’s The Best, with each award the player wins, debates about the fairness of the Ballon d’Or awarded to Spanish midfielder Rodri return to the surface. This time, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who revived the topic by defending the Brazilian shortly after being honored with the awards for top scorer in history and best player in the Middle East.
In his speech, Cr7 stated that the Ballon d’Or was unfair in not rewarding Vini, and the Brazilian thanked him: “Cristiano was saying that he believes I’m the best, I do. He’s my idol along with Neymar. I have the honor of receiving the best player of the season award with my two idols looking on. It’s an honor. Thank my teammates, my family, Flamengo who put me in the world. Being recognized is very important.”
In addition to him, Neymar was also decorated, winning the Career Award in recognition of his career. “It makes me very happy to be part of this party. I’m very happy, very happy to be among so many stars. It was a very difficult year for me. I hope to be able to return to the field well, 100%, which is what we all like to do”, he commented.
Other awards were given to Real Madrid, Vini Jr’s club, which won not only the trophy for best club, but also for best coach with Carlo Ancelotti, best striker with Vini Jr, best midfielder with Jude Bellingham, and best goalkeeper with Thibaut Courtois .
