The final sprint is underway and the nominees for the Ballon d’Or have only seven days to wait. The trophy will in fact be awarded on November 28 on the stage of the Théâtre du Châtelet and this time, the winner will be in the dark until his name is called. Eager to be able to count on as many stars as possible during the ceremony, France Football, organizer of the event, changed its way of doing things.
However, AS is convinced: the big winner is Vinicius. “It was a matter of time. Vinicius is Vinicius. A footballer who fights, fights and fights again, no matter how he behaved the previous time. Who breaks defenses with infernal speed and only needs a little to score. A world star who, in eight days, will receive his first Ballon d’Or,” wrote the Madrid daily this weekend.
Vinicius big favorite for the Ballon d’Or but…
Recently, Marcathe other major Madrid newspaper, also explained that Nike was already working to properly celebrate the coronation of the Brazilian, author of 24 goals and 11 assists in 39 matches last season, in all competitions. The store in the Spanish capital should thus be redesigned to the glory of the Merengue striker.
If Vinicius has many assets to highlight, first and foremost Real Madrid’s double last season, Brazil’s failure at the Copa America clearly leaves a mark. Above all, the two coronations of the Merengue were collective works and to this end Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal, who is the only one to have achieved the double Champions League with Real Madrid and the Euro with Spain have arguments to assert. Kylian Mbappé is further away, as is Rodri, the master of Manchester City, voted best player of the Euro.
