Shouldn't have any relevance in today's age when anyone with eyes can watch any football match they want from all over the world. It's not like when journalists in football had any importance.
Vinicius Junior
- Thread starter jackofalltrades
- Start date
Anything city win is bought and manufactured,their the one direction of football,therefore nobody cares what they win,remember 99,it was all over the front pages,city barely got a foot note,which by the way makes pep Simon Cowell
We're not narcissists! You should apologize for calling us narcissists and then publicly admit you think we're better than everyone else!
Problem is, Madrid have sort of shot themselves in the foot now. It's going to be incredibly awkward to return next year should Vini be awarded the title then. Also, strange to boycott the ceremony as if it's a prize awarded by the organisers, rather than voted for by international journalists.
Yes, I agree it's strange under that premise. However, if a person who is extremely cold-blooded takes such a drastic and violent decision as banning anyone from his club from attending the ceremony, something tells me the problem goes beyond the fact that his player did not come first in the award.
He’s really an unlikeable cnut.
Detestable little prick, hope he never picks up an individual award.
such a diving little bitch and easily the most detestable cnut among current players. simply impossible to like.
it's a shame they don't give suspensions for this.

He is making himself very unlikable...shame as he is a wonderful talent.
Stop being a knob Vini!

He must be the most hated footballer right now?
Good footballer but such a petulant p***. Then always claiming to be the victim.

Does this guy genuinely ever stop moaning?! 
Missed a penalty for Brazil tonight (he's got some sort of mental block playing for them like Foden for England) and he just spends the rest of the game preferring to talk to Venezuelans rather than getting on the ball and trying to win the game.
Raphinha is a far more crucial player for Brazil currently.

It's annoying because I don't think he's been petulant about the racism he's being subjected to.
But with him now being a moaning entitled so-and-so about the balon d'or, all of it will be filed under 'moaning twit' the next time he isn't stoic about racist abuse.

He can be a good example of fight against racism while still being cnut about other things.
Or to put it other way, him being cnut isn't a good excuse for those subjecting him to racist abuse.
Of course, I am not suggesting you said anything like that, but I do feel that in case of Vini, the public has made a good distinction between the two. Not those racists, mind you, they do try to use his behavior as justification for racist abuse, but I don't think it works well for them.
His level for Brazil is bizarre. Players who don't reproduce their best for the NT are not uncommon, but this guy plays, without hyperbole, like an average player for his country, unable to do anything remarkable(in a positive way, at least).
His record for Brazil is shocking. Brazil might feck around and miss the world cup at this rate too
That would genuinely be a massive shock.
Seriously, why is the kid so bad internationally?
The fact this guy is not the BDO is just such a justice act from football. Anyone who watched him play for his NT knows this guy can't be the best player in the world.
That's impossible, even if everything goes wrong and Paraguay and Bolivia surpass them (extremely unlikely), they still would play the mighty Fiji or New Caledonia in the playoffs.
I know that from the 2021/2022 season till now Vini has reached his peak in Real Madrid but i'm wondering before that, how do people view his first three seasons in Spain ?
He was not good.
He was really good for Solari
So looking at the stats, his goalscoring under Zidane was not very good but that's somewhat understandable given he was still a prospect in the making.
In the 2019/20 season I remember some moments of real skill here and there but it looks like his overall decision making was bad then ?

He had a good game here and there - Liverpool QF first leg comes to mind - but for the most part the lasting memory of him under Zidane was Benzema telling Mendy not to pass him the ball
It's funny how these things work, in Benzema's final Madrid season Vini was such a good partner to him on the field. Ancelotti really took his game to another level then.
Just remembering that clip of Benzema telling his team mates no to pass to Vini.
Couldn't sleep and watched some highlight of the Intercontinental Cup. Not the most likeable person in football but he's really one hell of a exciting player. That move he does on the keeper for Mbappe's goal was positively Neymaresque.
Young developing player in the harshest environment
