Moved and satisfied, Vinicius Junior spoke on his social networks after his coronation. The Real Madrid number 7 sent a poignant message on his journey and now hopes to retain that title “best player in the world”
“Veni, Vidi, Vici. Today, I write to this boy who saw so many idols lift this trophy… his time has come or rather, my time has come. 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 me, to diminish me. But they are not prepared. No one will tell me who I should fight for, how I should behave. When I was in São Gonçalo (a municipality in Ro de Janeiro), the system didn’t care about me. I almost got swallowed,” he blurted out on his Instagram account.
Before concluding: “I won for myself, for my family with a lot of support along the way: Flamengo, Real Madrid, the Brazilian national team, my hundreds of teammates over the years… the people who accompanied me through the daily in my routine, those who admire me… The best player in the world. » Strong words which should make many observers react.
