“All of us who live in football look forward to individual awards every season with great hope. Today, all Brazilian football lovers wake up expecting to see another player from our country who, after a long time, will receive the award of the best in the world.
Unfortunately, due to criteria unknown to anyone, the reward never came. And make no mistake, Rodri is a great player who deserves to be one of the best. But the fact that Vini did not receive the Ballon d’Or is a shame, and the only thing lost now is football.
I remember Vini saying that it was his dream to see the whole of Brazil cheering for him. And that day is today! You are a giant and the best in the world, kid! And no trophy will change that. Keep moving forward and don’t stop! I’m with you!” Richarlison wrote.
