Vinícius collects the Ballon d’Or award that recognizes him as the best player in the world next week, that’s what Carlo Ancelotti had to say about the hat-trick player in Real Madrid’s stunning comeback against Borussia Dortmund.
“With extraordinary energy, intensity and character, apart from goals, it is rare to see a player who produces a second half like Vinicius did,” the Italian coach said after his club’s 5-2 win.
Of course, the coach recalls that his outfit will be similar to what he did last season, as the current one is just starting.
“Helping us win the Champions League, I think he will win the Ballon d’Or for what he did last year, not for three goals that will help us win the next Ballon d’Or,” he added.
In a press conference, Ancelotti assured the 24-year-old forward of the recognition he deserves in Spain and celebrated that the problem of racism had subsided.
“I think he deserves recognition, the player blows the whistle because he can make a difference. He stops the issue of racism with him. He blows the whistle, that’s normal. He’s respected in this country,” he said. .
