Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his belief that Vinicius Jr will secure the prestigious Ballon d’Or award. Ancelotti’s comments come after the Brazilian forward’s impressive performance, including a hat-trick, which he suggests could bolster Vinicius Jr’s chances for the next Ballon d’Or.
Performance and Potential
Ancelotti highlighted that Vinicius Jr’s potential win is not solely based on his recent performance but also on his achievements from the previous season. The manager’s confidence in the 24-year-old forward’s abilities has been consistent, as he previously backed Vinicius Jr for the award in late September.
Support Amid Challenges
Ancelotti has been a vocal supporter of Vinicius Jr, defending him against criticism and condemning any unfair treatment the player has faced. This ongoing support underscores the manager’s belief in Vinicius Jr’s talent and potential to be recognised as one of the world’s best footballers.
