In a span of 4 years, Vinicius Junior went from someone who was a wasteful player in the final third and called out by his own teammate on camera to now the best player in the world and probably the next Ballon Dor winner. His emergence is a prime example of how we need to show more patience when it comes to young players irrespective of how they perform. His career at Real Madrid has been up and down and it didn’t get off to a great start as he was known for being a skillful and tricky player who wasn’t great at finishing his shooting was poor he had awful decision making and it even got to a point where at the time, Karim Benzema his own teammate on camera said “don’t pass the ball to Vini, on my mothers life, he’s playing against us”, what’s happened to him since that incident has been something magical. Of late he has gone from strength to strength at Real Madrid as in back to back seasons (2021-22 and 2022-23) he has 20+ goals and 20+ assists in all competitions and last season he had 24 goals in all competitions and he was their top scorer. During this period he has led them to 2 champions league titles in 3 years and is the player with the most goals and assists in this competition since the start of the 2021-22 season and he has been involved in a G/A in every knockout stage game except for one tie as the only team that has stopped him from getting a goal contribution in the latter stages of the tournament was Chelsea. He has replaced Cristiano Ronaldo as Mr. Champions League and he has been up to task of wearing the number 7 shirt because when you wear that jersey at Real Madrid, with great power comes great responsibility. That’s insane considering the fact that he’s 23 years old and he isn’t even in his prime and when we wanna look at big games, from a champions league perspective he’s the best player in the world. There’s an argument to be made that even with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid, Vini should be their main man. Right now he has the edge over other players in the Ballon Dor race because of what he did in the champions league where he won the competition as the best player and was decisive in so many big games for Real Madrid. He has been terrific for his club with the amount of trophies he’s already won at the age of 23 and he has been their best player in recent seasons and has been a game changer for them over and over again and the only thing that he has to do is translate his club form to the national team where he has really struggled with Brazil as it’s important for him to step up and be their main man during Neymar’s absence because with his injuries, they can no longer rely on him regularly. His performances have been very inconsistent and he’s come under criticism for being a systems player, “overrated, can’t perform outside of Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid, he’s carried by others can’t carry a team, worst Ballon Dor winner ever, football fell off” etc and he didn’t get off to a great start at the Copa America where he was subbed off during their game against Costa Rica when his team were chasing a goal and there was a feeling that they were only starting him because of his name, he silenced his critics against Paraguay and him scoring 2 goals and putting in a world class performance where he put the team on his back is something that strengthens his case for the Ballon Dor. Assuming he has a good tournament regardless of who ends up winning the EUROs, that would be enough for him to win the Ballon Dor whether Brazil wins the Copa America or not.
i think just because rodri had the best euros and was a vry key player in the euro he is a contender now cause i would rather see a rodri win it rather than vinicius who performed vry bad or the national team
Lautaro stats this season: Serie A winner Serie A Golden boot Copa Copa golden boot Serie A player of the year Italian Super Cup 29 goals 3 assists (My d’Or winner)
I do he's been better for leverkusen than vini for real Madrid so he's definitely in the convo but he's not gonna win it but if he does it 100% deserved👍
I think Jude Bellingham should win the ballon Dor. Only player who played good in EURO final from ENG. Scored a last minute over head to go to semi final in EURO. Scored only goal in 1st match giving 3 points to ENG. While Vini couldn't do anything in COPA Both have same success in club this year if Vini scored in UCL final, Jude was the one to assist.
If Ronaldo win European Nations competition will Ballon do'r and if Messi win compa American will win Ballon do'r. Ballon do'r is ridiculous it supposed be choosing the player who performes well winning the trophy and without winning a trophy as long you perform well you are going to win it. Ballon do'r ceremonies it's bias especially some Messi's Ballon do'r. Some of Messi's Ballon do'r got robbed from other players. Messi didn't performance good at the world cup but some how he won Ballon do'r because of winning the world which it made Halaand deserved to win Ballon do'r but he didn't when you compare performance Halaand should have won the Ballon do'r. Nowadays Ballon do'r is decided by winning a trophy not player's performance and that's ridiculous even though you don't perform well as soon you win the trophy then they make you favourite to win Ballon do'r. Ballon do'r ceremonies it's scandalous and full of bias.
All this means nothing Rodri will win because hes absolutely been a baller Consistent for both club and country and he may not do the flicks and tricks he does everything and steps up in big games and big moment And rodri has been a a candidate for the ballon dor for 2 years now
You think Madrid pays referees? This is pure jealousy You are jealous of Madrid Madrid pays referees to do what ? When decisions go in favor of Madrid, you people say Madrid has paid a referee but when it goes against Madrid, ( like the penalty awarded to Napoli in this year’s champions league, referee not stopping my the match when the time was up against Bayern, awarding a penalty to Bayern, which Arturo Vidal failure to convert, awarding Ajax a goal when the ball seemed fro have crossed the touch line for a Madrid throw in 2019 etc)-there are so many examples Why do you people hate Madrid that much Instead of hating Madrid, why doesn’t your team rather work hard to teach and the surpass the level of Madrid Even Guardiola, who arguably is the best manager in the world, Guardiola refers to Madrid as the best team in the world
@@Hala_Madrid008 Best CDM in the world. His significance in that city team is incomparable to what Vini, Jude is to Madrid. literally you're not about to make this about trophies and a goal in the final for Dani. Cause if so, I remember rodri had a fantastic 2023/2024 season, Alvarez won all major trophies that season, guess who won the Ballon D'or with a league title and a world cup + a bunch of stats.... Shocking..... The bias that either Vini or Jude deserves the ballon d'or is only fueled by narcissistic Madrid fan boys.....
@@BachelorMac1016Its based on individual performance, not trophies even though i think haaland deserved it 2023, he won his team a trophy scoring a hattrick in a final, what did rodri do in FA cup final??? vinicius has more individual performance, vinicius won his club major titles and you say rodri did more for his team?
Rarely a black player will win balloon d'or, Fifa and fake journalists always will find ways to put in someone's hands with brainwashing explanation to majority of people agree with the choise. Vini doesn't need any Copa or Euro to win the individual prize since he showed this last 2 years that he is being the best player in the world
*Why Lautaro Martinez is now trending on EU X ( twitter )* Some key points 👉 This guy has been instrumental throughout the campaigns for both Inter Milan and Argentina. He deserves to be in any discussion regarding the Ballon D'or. Honestly going by the yardstick they used in giving Messi or votings Messi to win 2021 Ballon D'or, Martinez deserves 2024 Ballon D'or. He won a Serie A and was the top scorer last season. He won this years Copa America and was the Top scorer too. Lautaro Martinez this season: ⚽ 35 Goals 🅰️ 8 Assists 🏆 Copa America Champion 🔝 Copa America Top Scorer ⚽ Match winner in Copa America Final 🏆 Serie A Champion ⭐ Serie A Most Valuable Player 🔝 Serie A Top Scorer 🏆 Italian Supercup ⚽ Match winner in Italian Supercup Final El Toro 🐂 He's not good enough to win the Ballon D'or?😤😤This world.
All those players are playing champions league and he outshined them. They use a tournament where everyone participated. This is not about Euros and Copa America. They won’t use those two tournaments because Vinicius can’t play Euros whilst the other contenders can’t play Copa America unless the contenders won the same trophies and will need another trophy to outshine the other. Only the World Cup and Champions league are used.
Regardless he’s finishing top 5 in the race he had a good year only how he does in the rest of the tournament and his comp mbappe, Bellingham and kroos may have the edge depending on how they do in the tournaments
Robbed?The guy dosent deserve at all, yes hes been phenominal this year but he lacks alot, the guy barely turns up in the league for Real Madrid and in the UCL the only reason he got far was cause of Madrid paying the refs. His been very inconsistent dropping stinkers all game and especially for Brazil the guy is so bad for Brazil even Luiz Diaz looks better than him
@@2BE2024 Madrid dont rob????Are you dumb?Bayern?Leipzeg?Barca?Almeria? and if you want to use stats lets use stats players with more g/a than Vini 1 Harry kane 46 goals 12 assist 2 Mbappe 45 goals 11 assist 3 MohSalah 30 goals 18 assist 4 Erling haaland 38 goals 6 assit 5 Cole palmer 27 goals and 15 assist 6 Victor Gyokeres 43 goals 15 assist theres 5 more with more g/a than Vinni why arent they in the ballondor conversation?
