Vinícius Jr took his defeat in the Ballon d'Or quite badly; his president, even worse. Both the footballer and Florentino Pérez took it for granted that victory was assured.
Vinícius earned it on the field, winning matches, winning titles and overwhelming his rivals with goals and assists. He was sure that the trophy couldn't escape him.
The Brazilian star of Real Madrid has an innate talent for soccer that can cause admiration. However, it'll be difficult to win affection when he adds toxic behavior to his game, which end up punishing him.
Nobody Likes Vinícius, Only Those on His Team
Nobody has stolen the Ballon d'Or from him. If Vinícius hasn't won it, it's because nobody likes him except the unconditional fans of his team who are willing to indulge him in anything.
Vinícius is not an example of sportsmanship or professionalism. He can't be a role model for children.
Always fighting with his rivals, always muttering and making fun of his neighbor, always protesting to the referee, always confronting the opposing fans.
it's difficult to help a player reach the top of world soccer with such "virtues" and that's what happened.
Vinícius was a Shameful Player in the Real Madrid-Milan game
In his last match at Bernabéu against Milan, he called the referee "madman" with a gesture. He simulated a penalty that was embarrassing and unworthy of someone who goes through life convinced that he's the best in the world.
Vinícius hasn't yet realized that there are 25 cameras on the field that capture everything, from all angles.
Trying to fool the referee and everyone else doesn't help for the Ballon d'Or either. Even so, he does it a lot.
The Ballon d'Or doesn't reward cheaters or rude people. To win it, you need more than just talent, goals and titles: sportsmanship.
Attitutes like the ones he offered to the world during the Real Madrid-Milan match punish him and take away everything he's gained by playing soccer. That's not a problem of racism, just an matter of education.
