Shortly after finishing second behind Rodri in the Ballon d’Or voting, Vinicius finally emerged as the best football player of the year, in the annual awards given by FIFA!
After the important distinction for him, the Brazilian striker Real Madrid shared his thoughts through a post on social media, stressing that he can now say he is the best in the world, even though some have tried and are trying to bring him down.
The Brazilian striker’s post:
“I came, I saw, I conquered. Today I am writing to this boy who has seen so many idols lift this trophy… your time has come. Or else, the time has come for me.
Time to say… yes, I am the best player in the world and I fought hard for it. They tried and still try to invalidate and diminish me. But they are not prepared.
No one can tell me who to fight for, how to behave. When I was in Sao Gonzalo, the system didn’t care about me. He had almost swallowed me.
I won for myself, for my family. With plenty of support along the way: From Flamengo, Real Madrid, the Brazilian national team, hundreds of my teammates over the years…
The people who accompany me every day in my routine… those who admire me. THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD”.
