“I’m already used to it. I know how these organizations work. In fact, I don’t even see him anymore. In a certain sense, in my opinion, these awards have lost a bit of credibility. We have to analyze the entire period. I’m not saying Messi didn’t deserve it, or Haaland, or even Mbappé,” he said, adding:
I simply don’t believe in these awards anymore. ‘Ah, because I won Globe Soccer’. But they were numbers, numbers don’t deceive. They can’t take this trophy away from us because it’s a reality. The numbers are facts.”
Second in the 2024 Ballon d’Or, Vini Jr.who was not present at the event, sent an indirect message on his X, former Twitter: “I will do it ten times if necessary. They are not prepared.”
