Gold Ball 2024: Vinicius the Next Winner, Predicts Roberto Carlos
Brazilian legend Roberto Carlos supports his compatriot Vinicius Jr and believes he deserves the Gold Ball 2024. This was revealed during an interview at a recent media event, via TheMadridZone.
Roberto Carlos disclosed his choice for the 2024 Gold Ball . According to the former Real Madrid player, the Brazilian forward is well-positioned to win the award for the best footballer of the year.
According to the World Cup winner from Brazil, the media and fans tried to destroy Vinicius during his early days at Real Madrid. However, the player ignored all this negativity and continued to prove his skeptics wrong.
« They tried to destroy Vini when he was young, and it made him stronger », said the former defender about Vinicius during his media appearance.
« There are other great players, but we needed a player like Vini. If he continues like this, it will be natural for him to win the Gold Ball 2024 », added Roberto Carlos.
Vinicius has contributed to his club’s success with 23 goals and 9 assists this season and is currently one of the favorites to win the award, alongside Jude Bellingham. It should be noted that the Brazilian footballer has been a victim of racism from fans for quite some time now.
