Vinicius Jr.'s failure to win the Ballon d'Or has sparked debate. Some even smell football politics. Brazil coach Darival Junior also could not accept the matter easily. According to him, the Brazilian forward did not get the award because it was unfair!
At the press conference during the announcement of the Brazil team, the coach of the team said, 'In my opinion it was unfair. Especially since it's a personal award.'
Darival made it clear in Rio de Janeiro that he has no complaints against award-winning Spanish and Manchester City forward Rodri. But according to Darival, the prize was deserved by Vinicius, 'I have no complaint against whoever won the prize. But he probably got it as recognition of one of the greatest footballers in Spanish football. But Vinicius deserved the reward for what he did.'
Even if he did not win a personal award, Vinny won another award in this incident, the Brazil coach thinks, 'Vinicius is probably the best award that he won, which is the respect and love of people. Most of the people of Brazil realized that it was unfair to him. That was worthy of winning the award.'
