According to Eder Militao, a defender for Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr. ought to be awarded the Ballon d’Or rather than Jude Bellingham, who is also a member of the Real Madrid club.
In the most recent encounter that Real Madrid played against Alaves at Santiago Bernabeu, Militao raised some concern when he got into a fight with Samu Omorodion, which resulted in a knee injury to his right knee.
On the other hand, the Brazilian player reassured everyone that it was not a significant problem, both on the field and subsequently in the mixed zone when they were competing.
Mundo Deportivo cited him as saying, “My feelings are good, the knee thing was nothing,” according to the report.
A few thoughts about Vinicius Jr.
The Brazilian defender was asked to give his choice between his national teammate, Vinicius, and his Real Madrid teammate, Bellingham, when he was questioned about one of the players that scored goals. This was in response to the question of who should be awarded the Ballon d’Or for this year, to which he responded,
“Vinicius, Vinicius.
“For me, Vini is the best in the world and if he continues like this it won’t take him long to win the Ballon d’Or,” he added.
Vinicius scored two goals for Real Madrid in their match against Alaves. He also performed well as a striker on the left side of the field, which caused the Alaves defense to have a difficult time.
Moving in from the side, popping up in the center, and dragging opponents away to create space were all things that he did to carry the club throughout the game. People in the stands have even stated that he is performing like a candidate for the best player award.
But in addition to that, he was given a yellow card for making a rough tackle on Ruben Duarte.
In the meanwhile, Militao, who has been gradually returning to the game after suffering a catastrophic knee injury, made a mistake when jumping with Omorodion and ended up touching his knee. This occurred during the second half of the game.
As everyone became aware of the challenges that Militao had encountered, the stadium became silent. The good news is that it was his right knee, and not the knee that had been hurt before.
Militao continued to play until that point, which was somewhere around the 70th minute, when he was replaced by Rudiger. This occurred after a short moment of anxiety and conversation with his teammates.
