For Jamie Carragher, Vinicius Jr. does not deserve his place in the 2023 team of the year because he plays with Real Madrid in a “ridiculous championship”.
Who, Lionel Messi or Vinicius Jr., deserves to be in the 2023 team of the year alongside Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland? For Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, invited to comment on this question to establish the eleven type of the game EA FC 24, there is debate. If the former Manchester United player clearly leans towards the Brazilian, who he found ” sensational “ with Real Madrid last year, the ex-Liverpool defender rather pleads in favor of the Argentinian.
“He’s the winner of the Ballon d’Or. It’s the best. He won the World Cup a week before 2023 and he wouldn’t be in the eleven, but you want to put (Kevin) De Bruyne for four months?! Seriously, man…”, he told his interlocutor. Gary Neville may have reminded him that the Madrilenian had compiled 18 goals and 17 assists in 44 matches, the argument did not convince a particularly aggressive Jamie Carragher against the Auriverde striker.
La Liga, “a ridiculous championship”
“His stats? He did them with Real Madrid in a ridiculous championship, in a league of clowns. What did Real Madrid win? They didn’t even win La Liga…”, then asserted the ex-glory of the Reds, adding that the White House faced throughout the season “easy teams” in La Liga. A charge which was not enough for him to tip the scales towards “la Pulga”, since it was ultimately Vini Jr. who obtained his place in their “Team Of The Year”.
