The coach of the Brazilian national team, Dorival Junior, commented on the "Ballon d'Or" awards, in which his compatriot Vinicius took second place.

"In my opinion, this is an unfair situation, especially because this award is individual."

"I have nothing against the current laureate, as the prize was awarded to one of the best players in Spain."

"However, Vinicius, considering his achievements, should be evaluated differently.

Despite everything, the forward has already received the highest award – recognition and respect from the Brazilian people. A large part of his compatriots understood what injustice occurred with a player who truly deserved the 'Ballon d'Or' trophy,” the specialist explained.
