Vinicius thanked his followers after being awarded the The Best Award 2024, but once again he could not avoid ruining the magic of the moment by sending a controversial message to all those who have criticized him.
No one doubts that he is a great player, but his attitude on and off the pitch is far from what one might expect. The Real Madrid forward still does not understand that he is a role model for many children and that his behavior is not appropriate.
"Today I write to the child who has seen so many idols lift that trophy... His time has come. Or rather, my time has come. The moment to say... yes, I am the best player in the world and I have fought hard for it"
"They have tried to invalidate me, diminish me. But they are not prepared. No one is going to tell me who I should fight for, how I should behave. When I was in São Gonçalo, the system did not care about me. They almost swallowed me up"
"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 accompany me every day in my routine, those who admire me… The best player in the world. 7", concluded the player.
The criticism from fans regarding his words has skyrocketed, and many comments agree that “he can keep scoring goals and winning titles, but if he does not improve his behavior, he will never be a great football star, a true one".
