Rodri returns the darts to CR7 for Vinicius

Rodri’s winning of the Ballon d’Or unleashed a series of controversies that not even other awards galas such as The Best or the Globe Soccer Awards They seem to have been able to close. After a series of comments by Cristiano Ronaldo that left Pep Guardiola’s midfielder as far from his favorite for the France Football award ceremony. The Spaniard, without mincing words, did not hesitate to respond to the Portuguese about his reflections on Vinicius.

“I like that they compare themselves to me, in the way they shoot, in their body. Bellingham, Lamine, Vinicius…He deserved to have won the Ballon d’Or. He won the Champions League and the performance he had in the final. “That’s why I believe more in these awards,” Cristiano Ronaldo dropped into a wing of the Globe Soccer Awards in which he undoubtedly placed the Real Madrid player as the one who truly deserved to win an award to which we remember that not even the white house of soccer would end up attending.

Thanks to this and waiting for news with a Manchester City that awaits signings, Rodri analyzed CR7’s words in AS and he did not hesitate to hit back: “Well, a surprise, really, because he knows better than anyone how this award works and, above all, how the winner is chosen. This year the journalists who vote have considered that I should win it. Probably, these same journalists were the ones who at some point voted for “If he won it, and I imagine that then he would agree.”

“You never think that you can reach this, but it is true that once you are there, in the conversation of the world of football and when you realize that you give the level to fight for it, you say… Why not? It requires effort, work; Furthermore, things have to go well on a collective level to win it, as well as on an individual level… I can only be proud of what I have been building over all these years,” Rodri dropped in a series of statements to the AS Diary where He was clear about his entire journey until that gala in Paris at the end of October.
